    We had a delightful Monday evening dining here. We had three appetizers, and our servers did a wonderful job of timing them so we could enjoy each on its own. The mushroom platter never disappoints, and we also enjoyed a cheese plate and delicious mussels. We like to go places where it isn’t too noisy, and the smaller size and table arrangement here allows for good conversation with just the right amount of liveliness.
