From start to finish the service was great. Allotted plenty of time to peruse the menu. Answered questions and made good recommendations on pairing of appetizers with entrees. Perfectly timed the food service in accordance with our dining pace. A very comfortable atmosphere. The high ceilings and architecture facilitate the dampening of noise within the restaurant. Will return for sure.

One of my favorite spots especially for the Tuna Nicoise Salad. It’s a large enough serving to split in half. I took half home. It was loaded with flavor from the blend of tomatoes, avocado, olives, haricots verts, Yukon gold potatoes, mixed greens, and of course the rare tuna. Delicious! The service was very attentive and personable.
