    Four of us chose the Chef’s selection, five courses and we added a wine pairing. Each course was excellent and they were small portions so it was good to get through the meal full but not stuffed. The wines were excellent selections and paired well with each course. Alll four of agreed that every course was excellent. The service was friendly and good with appropriate timing between courses. All in all we agreed that it was one of the best meals we have had.

    I love the lack of pretentiousness and the relative quiet of this restaurant. Some of the dishes are outstanding (crab tacos, risotto). Some are fine but don't quite justify the cost (lobster bisque, chicken cordon blue). Seems like the French dishes are not really working as well. The small plates and appetizers are where they shine. I hope they find their wheelhouse and stick to that. But its a lovely place. And the Hansel wines are a good value.
