We enjoyed everything from the moment we waked in to the moment we left. Our anniversary was acknowledged by the hostess, our server and a manager. They also sent out a sweet little dessert. Timing was very fluid. I was very impressed with the acoustics- the restaurant was totally packed but you can not hear another individual conversation and can still make out the music. Hard to achieve without seeing visible panels or an abundance of heavy drapery and rugs which there is not. Food was perfect.

Went on a weeknight with a friend. The ambiance is pub-like. We were greeted warmly at the door and quickly seated. We were surprised by the extremely limited menu choices and the $25 prix fixe menu, however appetizers (corn chowder, grilled salmon, brownie) through dessert were tasty and well-cooked. Can recommend.
