    My fiend had salade Nicoise and I had a Caesar with shrimp. Both were very tasty with good dressings on the side. Service was excellent.

    I enjoyed an early reservation and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the staff and Zachy and was waited on by Elias. I ordered the Wasabi crusted oysters, Sea Scallop Risotto, a Polish Hummer Martini, and Apple Crisp for dessert, were all was delicious. The ambience was nice and peaceful. Perfect for a solo meal to think or a romantic dinner.
