Everything was excellent: the appetizers (Brussels sprouts), the entrees and the dessert. Our entrees were the Brazilian steak and the duck confit. Both entrees were flavorful and the duck was so tender it fell off the bone. We had the pistachio ricotta cake for dessert and it was light and not too sweet. It was quiet in the restaurant and easy to carry on a conversation. No one hurried us through our 2 hour meal. It was a lovely experience all around.

We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. Seated in a nice booth immediately. Served water. D rink orders were taken quickly. Good was ordered in a leisurely, non rushed manner. Everything was excellent. Our server was very attentive. I also want to compliment Diana, whom we know from prior visits. She made certain to welcome us graciously and wish us Happy New Year. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Very good experience. The food was great and the service was slow enough to make us feel we were not being rushed, but sufficiently fast to keep us happy. The broccolini Caesar salad was excellent, as was the shrimp fettuccine and the Brazilian picana steak. We will definitely return.

This used to be a special restaurant, but it's gone downhill. They tried (twice) to bring the main course out while I was still eating my first course. Fish tasted fishy. Too bad. The server was really sweet, and she was the best part of the experience. .
