    Service, food, and ambience are all top notch at this restaurant. Food is flavorful and expertly prepared. The wines and cocktails are all very good too, often changing by the season. The staff is super accommodating with special requests and always warm, friendly, and professional. The gnocchi and short rib dishes are my absolute favorite here.

    Great service, nice sized portions and delicious food. My husband and I shared the brussel sprouts and fried pickles and had a sandwich each. Plenty of food and we left with leftovers. Also my husband had the maple mule and it was sooo good.
