    Valentine experience was not what I expected. Seating was 'very tight' not conducive to intimate dining.

    We came here on Valentine’s Day so had a special menu. The food was excellent. Lots of good choices. Byob so that’s a plus. However very small place with close tables. Although, still a nice ambience. I will be back to taste the food on the regular menu.

    Excellent cuisine and service on a quiet side street in the village of Lawrenceville. Inviting warm atmosphere on a cold winter's night. Good size portions, BYOB, and friendly accommodating staff.
