This is a small neighborhood establishment. The tables are small and close but still private. When filled, the noise level is high - mostly because everyone is enjoying themselves. The food was exquisite, far beyond my expectations, without any pretention. Kudos to the chef. He was able to accommodate my food allergies without me noticing a plate with gaps where something else would have been. My only question is why haven't I been here before? It most certainly won't be long before I am back. A real gem.
