Food was very mediocre. I had the chicken picatta which was not very flavorful but worse, the chicken was overdone and dry. This place used to be much better, it’s unfortunate.

Quaint location with delicious food and very good service. Accessible for mobility impaired but suggest get dropped off at the door. Parking across street on a rainy evening was a bit uncomfortable. Will return and recommend to friends.
