    We had an out of town friend pop by and we didn’t have anything planned for dinner so we made a reservation and everybody loved their meal. I had a delicious Caesar salad and beef Wellington. My husband had stuffed dates and duck breast. Our friend had a delicious looking burger. We are so happy to have such a lovely place to eat so close to home.

    As always, a wonderful intimate dining experience. Our local favorite with easy same-day reservations, and a warm and welcoming environment & staff. The Caesar Salad, Seared Ahi, Chicken Breast, and Apple Tart were all exceptional. And the table side visit from the chef and owner, Paul, was the perfect finish.

    This always be one of my top five!! Absolutely love our local gem with no outside building branding 😉 Beef Wellington, Scallops and Caesar Salad were DELISHas as always!!! Service was off last night, which not typical. Made my reservation three weeks in advance and I am not sure why the waiter asked if I wanted to sit outside when there were clearly 3 table choices throughout the night. In addition, I had to remind the waiter four times I had not received our bread we ordered.

    Just found this neighbor gem. The food was delicious! The service was a little slow, but friendly and competent. The restaurant was full and the noise level was high, but we had a great meal.

    Lovely dinner! Busy, but not noisy or uncomfortable. The food was excellent and the service was great. No one rushed us. They made nice recommendations for the menu. I love that there is no signage out front... makes it feel like a secret neighborhood gem.
