This visit was just ok - not as good as normal. Brushetta was bland and the chicken on Caesar a bit grisly to be honest. They were busy and it was loud but service was good.

Beautiful, cozy restaurant. Food was delicious and healthy portions. We took my 86 year old Mom. She can be hard to please…she absolutely loved her meal! Wants to go back for her birthday in April. The gentleman who served us was very attentive and helped with my Mom’s dinner choice. Will definitely be returning!

Excellent service, not cheap but not unreasonable for the quality of food. Like the idea of taking any wine home that wasn't drunk. Didn't get seating next to the fireplace as requested but since they don't have one I guess they can be forgiven. Thanks Michael for the friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended for a special evenig for the annual Christmas dinner with my eldest daughter.
