    Food was fantastic. Great historical location however, it seemed very difficult for staff to navigate around the establishment as there are many sharp turns, small entrances, which led to many accidents including broken glass and running into customers which both occurred during our visit.

    We enjoyed what we ate and the service was great. It was a bit noisier than usual because there was a private birthday party in the room to the right of the entrance. A few of the menu items were out (and it was late -- we had a 7:45 pm reservation), and of course, they were the items I wanted to try -- the brie, the chimichurri for the salmon, and the pineapple upside-down cake. Hope we can get them another time!

    My husband and I had a fabulous meal here last night. He had prime rib and I had the veal osso buco. Both were amazing! Our waiter Logan was extremely attentive and knowledgeable as well. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

    Food and service were excellent. Wish the parking was a little closer to the restaurant entrance.
