Amazing experience as always and that short rib eggs benedict in the morning is the best way to recharge after a long week.

Service was good. Food is consistently good. Salads were a tiny bit bigger this visit and we appreciated that very much. From the special truffle menu, the cacio e pepe was outstanding, creamy and terrific. My only complaint: every time we go, there is no warm water in the ladies room, the water is so cold it actually hurts to wash my hands. I thought we were trying to encourage people to wash their hands. There is an electric eye so the water shuts off automatically, so certainly it can’t be a conservation issue. Why?

The Autumn salad and rack of lamb were delicious! My friends ordered the steak and cod and said they enjoyed their dinners too. The Wine selection is a little sparse but we ordered a Meomi Pino Noir which was very good. The service was excellent. Charming and cozy restaurant for this time of year!
