    Overall good. But not as happy with the meal this time. Shrimp was over cooked and so much spice that the actual flavor of the shrimp was minimal. Fillet was a bit sticky rather than melt in your mouth. And too much garlic butter on it. And garlic bread was very salty / garlicky and not enough butter. Loaded potato was perfect. Wines were decent but didn’t knock my socks off. Wine steak sauce was very good. Service was very good. Probably will not go back for a while since the price just didn’t match the quality. Will try again at some point because every now and then a place can have an off night.

    Beautiful restaurant repurposing a gloriously well maintained late 1800's mansion. Warm, welcoming, decor spot on w/o an ounce of pretension and just an overall lovely vibe. The interior layout of rooms remain as initially conceived by the original architect, that conspire to make it feel as if you were in someone's well-maintained home/mansion. The service (Santiago!) was great w/o being intrusive and complimented the overall feel and ambiance. We had three different entrees, each of which were v good. The carpaccio and vongole were remarkable, resulting in my cousin from Boston (think The North End, little Italy) remarking " best ever!)
