Our waiter Larry was very kind and struck up a nice conversation with my son about hockey. We loved the shrimp and pork belly apps. Did the 3 course menu (app, entree and gelato for $50) and were quite pleased! The hazelnut and peanut butter cookies and cream gelato were so good!

Beautiful restaurant with an interesting history. Excellent menu and the food was fantastic! Had the 1/2 salad and cup of soup lunch. Choose the black bean soup served over rice. Delicious! After we ate we asked about the restaurant history and the assistant manager gave us a wonderful tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
