Very cozy and comfortable dining experience on a chilly, late November evening. Enjoyed sitting at the bar - the bar tender was attentive and flexible with my order. Appreciated her! The brick oven roasted half chicken and Mediterranean salad was exceptional! Hated to take the last bite! Will return soon.
