I have to give this 5 stars, not because it is super- high end cuisine, but because it provides excellent food, with good service, in a nice ambience. It is an unimposing building in a row of town shops, but the black & white checked marble floors, large open feeling, and consistently kind service and good food earn it a top rating.
