    We have been there 3 times now and every single time the food was exceptional. Every single item we have ordered salads, soup, appetizers, main courses and desserts were seasoned to perfection. I don't know how they do it, but it is always perfect. I fancy myself as quite a cook, but I am so impressed with their palates. The service is great, also, always there when you need them.

    Outstanding food, great service. Requested a special table and they remembered and sat us right there. Three courses is probably too much food, but they are very gracious about packing everything to take home.

    Such a delightful place! A group of 8 ladies met there today for lunch. It was a warm and cozy spot on a drizzly day. Our server was a delight: friendly and welcoming, professional yet completely charming. She provided great insight on the dishes. The food and service were spot on. We will definitely be back. Don’t miss this restaurant!
