Loved it! Service was very attentive and they had wonderful suggestions from their menu. The steak tartare was delicious served on homemade potato chips. The deviled eggs were a wonderful surprise served upside down with a sauce and caviar on top. The Caesar salad was amazing…I shared this but won’t next time I return…it was delicious with the crunchy topping. We shared the roast chicken, which was so tender and had the most delicious pan gravy. And don’t leave without trying the Soft Serve dessert. It checks all the boxes…caramel, toasted hazelnuts, poached pears and ice cream.

Friendly, neighborhood restaurant. Great cocktails. Well- prepared food but I miss the old menu which had deviled eggs, fritters for happy hour menu and meatloaf. A while back there was the most delicious pork chop with a creamy mushroom sauce. I still think about it. Nicely decorated with beautiful, lit wreaths for the holidays. The staff go out of their way to check in with you for drinks, etc
