    Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. The food was good but nothing outstanding, especially considering the cost. Good place to take an older person who likes a quiet, roomy place.

    We were created by friendly staff who took our coats and lead us to our table. Our server Jacqui was extremely helpful, friendly and patient. Thank you, you made our moms 89th birthday special.

    Tuesday lunchtime was quite busy, but our waitress was attentive. Menu is not extensive, but Food quality was exceptional: steak sandwich $30 and chicken panini $28 might seem expensive, but portions are large and we both brought half home for dinner! Ambiance takes one back to quiet, sedate dining of decades past! Will be back.
