They had me at Focaccia! This restaurant is a total gem. Wonderful intimate ambiance, great staff, nice to see the chefs working away in the open kitchen. The food will keep you coming back - I know I will! I visited with a friend and we shared focaccia bread and three dishes and then each had a dessert - so perfect!!! Top notch fresh ingredients make the difference here - Yum!

When we arrived there were no tables available despite the fact we’d made a reservation. We were offered seating outdoors (it was 50 degrees outside!) or next door at the bar. We chose to go next door to the bar where the tables were too small to even fit our drinks and the food we ordered. Over all nice staff and drinks/apps but the curry was less than impressive.
