I like this place. Food is good and rather sophisticated for the price and excellent value for money in that area. Choice is very varied. Tables are well-spaced, service is efficient and discreet. I like that water glass was not filled with ice. Would be nice to have some bread for free.

Best dining experience I've had in years. Now one of my top 3 restaurants to recommend to out of towners. Not a bad dish, and closing out with complimentary bread pudding was delightful.

Perfect kind of fine dining experience - upscale, not uptight, incredible food, and really impeccable service. It is going to be hard to eat anywhere else for the next several months. We went to celebrate a birthday and engagement anniversary, and they made it very special and very aware that they knew and cared about it !
