    The service was outstanding, the food was prepared, perfectly, and the, ambience is always very nice. This time there was a party going on, so the noise was just a little bit louder but not obscene. If you go to restaurants around Christmas time you have to expect that. We love this restaurant and we will be back again.

    We had an amazing time. Food, Service, and atmosphere were perfect. In fact, we had such a great time, we almost missed our Candlelight Concert. Our server took note of our time during seating and made sure we were closed out in time.

    Stopped by for a snack before a show at the Crest. Very nice comfortable room. Our server, Kaitlin was friendly and very professional. Menu is small and well focused. We had three apps and bread service; a well spiced curry soup, their signature salad and a great carpaccio with crisps, parmesan cheese and aioli. Ended with a affogato made with a decadent vanilla bean ice cream. All were well balanced, carefully prepared and well plated. Serviceable wine list; not terribly adventurous but found a nice Bichot Chablis BTG. Solid dining option--not inexpensive, but excellent value. We will be back.

    Very impressed how efficient and very kind service along with good food and reasonable prices. Our group ate there prior to attending the Woman’s rally, so got us fed and cashed out in plenty of time. Highly recommend.
