We had a bit of a wait even with a reservation. Our two coffees also were slow to arrive at the table. Our leftovers weren’t clearly separated either so two of us had to guess whose was whose since we had ordered the same dish. Staff are super nice and friendly though and we all enjoyed our meal.

Brussels sprouts had outstanding flavor. Little Gem Salad was prepared excellently. Wild Mushroom Risotto was creamy and tasty. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The six baby profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream were luscious. Thank you, as always, for a sublime experience.
