We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

A lovely evening and delicious meal all around. Standouts included the short rib steak and Chinese broccoli. Wine list is too locally focused for our tastes, but the cocktails more than made up for it :)
