Not only was the food delicious but the presentation was worthy of the chef getting a James Beard award. Bravo!

Very intimate and romantic place five minutes walk from the plaza. New chef is a major improvement. The crab cake appetizer is one of the best preparations I’ve ever had. My husband’s beet and burrata salad appetizer was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed my duck confit stuffed poblano pepper. The lamb ravine could have had more meat on the bone but otherwise very tasty. Nice little cornbread and herbed butter to accompany the meal. The wine list was good but not outstanding. Service attentive. A very enjoyable experience at a reasonable price point.

We had an excellent time. The service was good, the atmosphere was intimate, the food was exceptional. It’s pricey but expected for the quality. They were so gracious and helped me celebrate my birthday in just the way I wanted. I would recommend this restaurant for any celebration that you would like to be special but also low key.

There was only one waiter/server/ bartender who did his best. However, one person cannot keep up with the whole restaurant. Service was therefore slow…but the food was delicious!
