Best dining experience I've had in years. Now one of my top 3 restaurants to recommend to out of towners. Not a bad dish, and closing out with complimentary bread pudding was delightful.

Perfect kind of fine dining experience - upscale, not uptight, incredible food, and really impeccable service. It is going to be hard to eat anywhere else for the next several months. We went to celebrate a birthday and engagement anniversary, and they made it very special and very aware that they knew and cared about it !

The service was attentive, though we were the only ones in there for the first 10 minutes of our visit but even as it got busier the service was still good! The food came quickly and was delicious. We both had pizza which was cooked to perfection.
