    Food and drinks were terrific! Service was low-key and calm. No one was rushing around. Focus was on us when the Server was addressing us. We even had a mini tour of the space

    Dover Sole was a nightly special. It was kind of pricey but not for Dover Sole. However it was the smallest I’ve ever had and not cooked the way I think it should be. It’s a very thin fish. Cooking it to be very crispy on the outside is way overcooking this fish. The rest of our dishes were very good. $40 is most I’ve ever paid for Lagavulin and although it’s a great scotch, it’s not worth $40.

    We had a wonderful evening. Every dish was fantastic and the kitchen accomplished our entire order with a power outage occurring throughout almost our entire meal. Bravo!

    We had not been back for some time but so glad we did. It was a perfect evening. All 4 of us enjoyed our dinners. Our waiter could not have been more attentive and just a delight giving us perfect recommendations. The addition of the the liquor license is nice too. The cocktails were delicious!
