                                                My husband and I shared the porterhouse and our granddaughter got the wagu. They both were delicious!! The sides that came with the porterhouse were incredibly yummy (crispy potatoes and an Italian broccoli) We started the the garlic bread - which set a VERY High bar for the next course. I’m dreaming about the garlic bread - PHENOMENAL! Our server, Jane, was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive.

                                                A cozy restaurant with attentive service and thoughtful dishes. We were celebrating birthdays and the staff was very warm.

                                                Very pleasant romantic setting. Street parking was a little tough. The outside courtyard was wonderful on a cool night with fire places and was so cozy. Service was lackluster, our charming server rarely checked in us and never asked how things were. If he had I might have told him that the $40 roster chicken was tough and not flavorful. I just ate the salad which was good. Don’t expect any extras like bread, in fact they didn’t have any.
