My wife and visited for dinner. The food and service were excellent. Initially we were seated in a room off to the rear, and we thought it lacked atmosphere. After being there a while, we realized it was a little more intimate and we could hear each other talk. I had the Rabbit Wellington and my wife had the New York Strip. Both were very good, but the NY Strip was excellent. We would highly recommend this restaurant, and will certainly visit again.
