    Our waiter was great, however, one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when others are still dining and the table get cleared. Some people eat at a different pace and I never want others to feel rushed. We were there for an hour and felt rushed out. Not the experience I aim for.

    Excellent. Our 4th visit for dinner and it has been consistently good. Oysters were fresh and the pate also flavorful. My wife had the rockfish and I had the duck, both excellent. We were seated in the atrium area where I was worried it would be noisy due to a lot of hard tile surfaces but it was fine. My only gripe is actually with Open Table. It was a Saturday night and the only available reservation times were 5 pm and then nothing until 8:15. We opted for 5pm since we had no lunch. When we departed at 6:30 the tables were less than half full. So it appears the lack of intermediate times was phony.

    Service was great. Friendly, professional server and host. The food and drinks were wonderful but the dessert was not good at all. The cake was very dry and stale. Flavorless. Everything else was amazing though. We enjoyed ourselves, thank you!

    Food was good, especially the pastry basket. Good coffee selection as well. Service was slow but could have just been my table. I noticed other tables had more attentive service. Very cool interior and would probably go back.

    Good food, good drinks, friendly service, and a romantic/historic atmosphere. What more do you want? Appreciated sitting upstairs where it was a little quieter and easier to talk but without sacrificing the charm.
    Josephine - Old TownResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and friendly service, as well as the romantic and historic ambiance.
