    The only problem I had was that the chair was too low. I have arthritis in hands and shoulders, making it difficult to manipulate utensils.

    A favorite place for our special occasion. The food and service are always top-notch. I had the special of lobster/swordfish and my spouse enjoyed the steak/lobster. The servings were generous, well prepared (the sauces excellent) and artfully plated. The fresh flower arrangements on the tables add to the ambiance.

    Came here for the first time for my office Christmas party 2024 and I have been gushing about this place to my 23 year old daughter . We came for Sunday brunch . The starter warm bread and butter is THE BEST we have ever had . My daughter self proclaimed French onion soup enthusiast wasn’t very impressed with the French onion soup but everything else we had was amazing from the Caesar salad , the lamb sausages are chefs kiss . She loved her smoked salmon egg Benedict . I got the special of the day which was the shrimp and crab cake risotto and Broccoli. We were so stuffed from the starter we had everything boxed up to enjoy tonight . The service was impeccable. We are looking forward to returning !

    Excellent dining experience. Friendly service with romantic setting. Entree of duck confit with red wine reduction- tender and a nice balance of flavors. Shrimp- firm and properly done. Wonderfully rich flavor of ricotta /poached pear pasta purses were fantastic Trout entree was delicately prepared - moist and flavorful Desert trio was a perfect finish
