    We love the vibe and the food at this place. The chefs selections and menu, wine and cocktail list are all terrific. They were very busy on a Saturday night so we can only attribute the slow service to that, certainly not a lack of care. Great care is taken with every element of the food and atmosphere. We plan to return again and again. Everything we ate was wonderful, perfectly seasoned and tasty. Favorites: mushroom soup, trout almandine, pork osso buco- loved every bite!

    Food is delish! However, After meal we just continued chatting at the table, but the server keeps coming back and start taking our water cup as if he wanted us to get up and leave. We couldn’t relax and enjoy the company and just chat away bec server seems to wanted us leave! Rude in that sense

    The food was delicious and the presentation superb. My friend was given a complimentary chocolate mousse with a fireworks candle and a Happy Birthday song. Handicapped access is lacking, in particular with respect to parking and access to restrooms. I am temporarily on crutches and was able to work around it, but if someone in your party is very restricted, I suggest you call restaurant first and perhaps special arrangements can be made.

    Ate outside. Lots of heaters. So it is quiet outside. Always happy with the food and service. Back to having the French Onion Soup and new the Chimay and Braesola toast. Yummy
