This is a place rich with history. The restaurant decorates with a wonderful feeling of warmth and charm. Came to listen to the Thursday music fare and it was fabulous. Were able to finish our diner seated outside (on a particularly warm November evening) and listen to the beautiful strains of Gypsy Rumba.
