Excellent Excellent Excellent. Ambience A+, Service A+, Food A. We’re going back, we may even make this a part of our restaurant rotation. A real gem. Only reason food did not get an A, it could have been slightly warmer. The taste, however was exceptional (there was literally not an empty table when we went so we know the kitchen was busy). Again, a great dining experience.

Cozy, sophisticated, but not at all stuffy. We devoured the Bread & Butter, and the Skate Schnitzel and Roasted Chicken were delicious! The Honeynut Squash Sundae was so unique and the perfect combination of subtle Fall flavors in an ice cream format.
