Portions too small when considering price. They were out of two dishes we were looking forward to, ribs and lamb shanks. Great selection of wines by the glass. Once the restaurant is full, it is too noisy for relaxed conversation. For us seniors, the earlier the better.

We walked over which is always welcome and great. The half-priced wine night was a bonus. We opted for tavern style pizza at the bar...again, perfect for us. Could see us making Wednesday eve dinner a monthly ritual.
