Great food and ambience. Our main server was ok while others were fantastic. They actually stopped by to ask if we needed anything more than the main server. The dungeness crab pasta was the highlight of the meal

We had the set Valentine's menu for two and it was very nice. Service was great and not rushed at all. It is part of a hotel. There was a bit of a cold fraught from the door into the hotel unfortunately.

Cute little place. Good food. We sat in a tight row with four sets of parties of two. It was cold because the door wouldn’t stay shut.
