We all enjoyed a cocktail and shared apps. The stand out was the Scottish Egg, a poached egg wrapped in sausage. Very unusual. We each enjoyed our entrees. The branzino was light and flavorful. The pork chop was decadent and delicious. The short rib pasta was said to have been the best ever by someone in my party. The carrot cake was outstanding. Our servicer was top notch, friendly, helpful and fun! She seemed to love her job. The place is decorated so beautifully for the holidays. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is that the prices seemed higher than necessary.

Food was delicious, service was Excellent! The Chef even came out to check on us. We went early, 5:30pm so it was a bit quiet but the restaurant is very charming and cozy. Would love to go back on a Saturday night when there is Flamenco and finish my night with an espresso from the beautiful machine they have. I wish them the best!
