    Loved it there! So cute and cozy for a little last minute Christmas dinner with friends. The food, wine and service were incredible. Will definitely come back and will be a favorite of ours. A good go to spot if you want to get off Hanover Street.

    Food was outstanding, perfect for special holiday outing. Our experience did not lend itself to accommodating (even well behaved) children (service demeanor, food accommodations, etc). Surprised to see tip included for “large party” despite having only 5 in our party. Despite, I do highly recommend for adult dining.
