    A lovely evening with a great special: risotto with beef cheeks, mushrooms and bell peppers. Our server Matthew was knowledgeable about dishes, wines and so accommodating throughout. It was my 75th birthday and I felt so special there.

    Really amazing service and food. We had drinks and appetizers before going to the Arts Center including the Serbian bread and a plate with speck and burrata and everything was delicious. It’s such a pretty room with a great soundtrack and atmosphere and the service was so personal. It was one of the top restaurant experiences I’ve probably ever had.

    I was looking forward to the squash ravioli, but unfortunately it was so sweet it should have been a dessert. I also didn't care for the cubed pieces of squash in the sauce, but that's a personal preference. The steak tartar was more veg than steak, which I found weird However, I still love this restaurant and will continue to go back as most everything on the menu is outstanding and they mix a good drink. I'll just avoid these two things in the future.
