    All good. Good food. Very pleasant staff. One minor issue was … the volume of the TV playing the Giants game was overkill. (Perhaps there was a guest who was hard of hearing?). We were seated in a booth in the front part, and could not easily have a conversation.

    Our dinner and service was outstanding from start to finish. A gracious greeting from our server offering us a varied menu with tempting specials. We dined in a lovely, quiet room not bothered by loud music or noisy patrons We started with a nice kale salad and followed with scallops and the duck special -- both tasty, attractive and perfectly prepared. We finished with hot coffee and an excellent tiramisu. Very reasonably priced for the quality of everything we received

    This was our first time here and we were impressed - the food and service were both excellent as we had heard. We ordered a variety of starters and menu items and everything was delicious. The only issue was the roti - we had a few orders and all were burned on both sides but everything else was so tasty we didn't say anything until the end when we told the waiter. He was totally nice about it and even brought us an extra order free of charge which was not burned and we definitely enjoyed that a lot! We will definitely be back to try more dishes.
