The customer service was outstanding. The chef came to our table twice to check on the food. Everything was delicious, especially the Mac and cheese appetizer. The vegetables were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It is a small neighborhood restaurant that was very comfortable.

The food was excellent. The service outstanding. Kind people, lovely atmosphere. We should have sat outside but thought it t be too chilly but the design and the heaters in that space would have been sufficient. Will definitely return, even if it is just to have that lamb again. Very yummy.
