    This restaurant is a quiet gem in Old Town Manassas. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Because my friend and I did not have big appetites we opted for appetizers, soup and dessert. I had sautéed scallops on truffle fried fresh asparagus, shiitake mushrooms and a cauliflower chicken soup followed by a delicious crème brûlée. My friend had jumbo shrimp stuffed with salmon and crab with a Sambuca romana sauce and cold bean salad, tomato bisque and New York cheesecake. Both were excellent meals, perfectly prepared and plated. As someone with Celiac, there were several excellent options on the menu and the wait staff seemed very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the meal and would highly recommend this delightful dining spot.
