   Alll the food was fabulous except that the sweat potato gnocchi was way too sweat. Maybe it was supposed to be, but I didn't care for it.

   Nice selection- my food was great, wife’s dish was only fair. Prices are a bit high. Service solid.

   They had a nice selection of items for brunch. The food was very good overall, although the salmon was a tiny bit mushy. The Lemon Brule was excellent. The service was excellent, attentive without being smothering, and the ambiance was also excellent. There were not many other diners when we were there, not sure how noisy it would be if it were full, but it was nice and quiet for our visit. Prices are on the high side, but we will definitely be back when we want a special occasion meal.

    We had a nice NewYearsEve dinner -- four old people in one of the booths. Service was efficient and professional; the food was ample and good. The salmon main was enjoyed by two of us. The rack of lamb featured three ribfulls, but was red-pink throughout. Waiter had asked how I wanted it and I'd said "not rare, more like medium" and what I got was (for my tastes) rare. The desert affogatos were perfect and the lemon sorbetto looked good and was much appreciated.
