    Good food and nice ambience. However, I was shocked to see charge of $4 for warm tap water. It seemed very unethical. Table was too small. There Was hardly any space for foood to be kept in the table.

    This was my first visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We came on Christmas Eve where they were serving a four course meal. Each of the courses had some selections to choose from. I found the waiter to be charming, knowledgeable and professional. The presentation of each course were excellent and the taste did not disappoint. We had arrived early, so it was very quiet and even at peak it was still a nice ambience.

    What a nice place for a client appreciation meal! Monica was our server/waitress. Very attentive and polite. Ravioli appetizer, lamb chop and dover sole entrees were delicious. Terrific wine list! I have been a Birmingham resident for 36 years and it is nice to have this restaurant so close. to home.
