    Loved our waiter, delicious food, fairly priced. Live music, not too loud, rounded out a beautiful evening. We are repeat customers who walk a pleasant 15 minutes each way to our favorite neighborhood gem.

    Even though we should have made the request to merge our two separate tables of four well in advance, the restaurant accommodated our request and even gave us free desserts for having to wait. I felt like we owed them, but this shows their desires to serve customers incredibly well. And the food was amazing!! And the table service was amazing as well. Highly recommend it!! 5 stars!!
