First time here for my husband’s birthday and we really enjoyed our drinks and meal. The lemon drop and Hennessy sidecar is worth trying! The double pork chop, lobster bisque, scalloped potatoes, cream corn and sautéed spinach were also delicious! Service was excellent!

Great place for good, affordable food. Atmosphere is nice as they nod to the local neighborhood: Chinatown and a lot of paintings as the Portrait Gallery is across the street. I did find the buffalo chicken wings to be very small in size so maybe not worth the price, but our entrees were good and good size portions.
