You feel like family when you are there, the service and food are excellent. They offered a three course Thanksgiving menu as well as the full menu the Thanksgiving menu was just right. Always a wonderful place to have dinner with friends and family.

It was really special. However the service could have been a tiny bit better coming from our server. I felt like we were waiting a long time in between to get drinks/food/dessert in. We had to keep asking the buss boy to grab our server.

I'm so glad I did, we loved it! Beautiful restaurant, great food and I thought the prices were reasonable. We have planned on going back soon for a regular dinner.

Everything about it creates an elevated but relaxed dining experience. The food, the service, the ambiance and noise level that doesn’t interfere with conversation all contribute to a wonderful dining experience.

My friend suggested it and as soon as I walked in the good memories came back. It has a warm, subtle elegance in its decor… the food was also was good as I remembered and the service was first-class. Our server happened to be fluent in French and Italian as well as English. We stayed for 3 hours and no one suggested we should hurry up or leave. I’ll be back soon.

Great menus and drinks. It was very unfortunate that service of the waiters and staffs were below our expectations. Silver ware was not clean and requested to replace. Hot water we ordered was colored by the previous coffee stain. Waiters are not communicated well. Did not feel they are team players. Bad attitudes were recognized. We would like to go back there due to the food quality, but need to address their service before making a reservation.
