    We really enjoyed everything we ordered. We did start w the whipped ricotta which was a nice opener along with the plentiful fresh grilled bread pieces served along side it. We then shared the tuna a la plancha, the hanger steak and we each had one of the mussels which was really amazing. We finished with a shared half chicken tagine which was served with a large helping of couscous( which was not our favorite but none of us are huge couscous fans) and an order of roasted carrots. We were too full to order dessert. The service was wonderful. Attentive without being intrusive and a good pace to the courses. We would definitely all go back again!

    The food and ambiance here is AMAZING. Do not leave without getting the yeast rolls because they are life changing. Our server seemed to get annoyed at us at times but she was efficient in taking orders and delivering food! The sommelier was also great with recommendations and helped us find a new wine to please everyone’s palates! We truly love the food here! We will be back.
