The loveliest and kindest restaurant staff! Excellent food, wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, elegant decor, and they were very willing to accommodate the menu for kids. Great drinks, too. Giant pasta portions, so we didn’t make it to dessert, but we’ll plan better for next time!

The food was very good, especially the steaks But the pacing was off and my wife’s crabcake did not arrive for a good 5 minutes after the other 4 of us were served. And there was a long lag before we were even asked about dessert. Entered at 5:30, out at 8. Too long for a fine dining experience.
