Brussels sprouts had outstanding flavor. Little Gem Salad was prepared excellently. Wild Mushroom Risotto was creamy and tasty. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The six baby profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream were luscious. Thank you, as always, for a sublime experience.

Came here last night to help Nell's celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Quite a testament to Chef and Owner Phil and his GM Skye to have managed to pull this off in such a brutal industry. The food is always fantastic, the service impeccable and the atmosphere so quiet, peaceful and romantic. We come here for almost every one of our special occasions. It's nice to see other regulars and especially nice to see younger couples giving this terrific spot a try. Try it once and you will be hooked.
