Excellent family run restaurant. A great find. Excellent food, service, atmosphere. The decor is charming, and comfortable, nicely appointed.

A limited but delicious menu. Full bar. Pleasant inside and outside. But, in the evening, you're going for the music, and it was great July 30--Gabe Koempel and combo.
