A great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.
