    It keeps getting better! Our longtime favorite really delivered last night. Pleasant. Comfortable table. Knowledgeable server who wowed us with her descriptions of the specials. Wr loved the wild mushroom soup. Tenderloin medallions were superb; lamb chops cooked just right. Scallops and halibut were fresh and tasty. We ran into two tables of local friends, which is always fun. Apple tart was exquisite- just wish I had ordered it just for me instead of sharing. We all look forward to returning soon.

    Restaurant was packed with a nice buzz, but we could still have a conversation. Food was superb, truly fantastic, with an interesting menu. Our server, Jai, was very pleasant and helpful.

    Restaurant was great. Service and food was excellent. A little hard to find in the car from the street and parking was a bit tricky but definitely would recommend and go again.
