A great choice before we went to the symphony. Restuarant was very nice and well appointed. Food was very good, especially the short ribs. Nice wine list. Our server, Jessika B was outstanding! She was so friendly and attentive. Always seemed to anticipate our needs. Jessika made the experience even more special.
