Winter risotto and duck pappardelle were satisfying, with ample portions. Cozy ambiance, but because the rooms are small, annoying loudmouths can be easily heard. There are only 3 desserts, so don’t expect much in that category.

They offer generous portions , good wine, and interesting cocktails. We weren't rushed at all and they let us sit and talk. The only drawbacks were related to the restaurant space. It's in a townhouse, so there isn't much room between and around the tables and the restrooms were up a steep flight of stairs, where there is another dining space. It would be hard for people with limited mobility to get into the restaurant and enjoy themselves.

                                                                                Is this helpful?
