Hash browns were dry, 1 of the 2 over medium egg yolks were broken and fully cooked hard. Pancake was cold and served on a cold plate, that the butter could not melt on it.

This is such a sweet place! I will be back. Homemade pasta, stand-out bone marrow appetizer and perfect dessert. The service was warm and attentive, never invasive.

Excellent flavors. I would describe the menu as elevated casual, food many of us know and enjoy without appearing pretentious and reasonable prices even by current standards

Beef bourguignon was a little thin. Fettuccini with scallops and curry was tasty though the curry was barely there. House-made noodles were perfect!
