Tuesday lunchtime was quite busy, but our waitress was attentive. Menu is not extensive, but Food quality was exceptional: steak sandwich $30 and chicken panini $28 might seem expensive, but portions are large and we both brought half home for dinner! Ambiance takes one back to quiet, sedate dining of decades past! Will be back.

Beautiful historic estate. Has to be the best brunch in the city - Chef is very talented & clearly takes a lot of pride in the presentation, food quality, & portions. Our server was attentive & lovely, live pianist was excellent. This was a 10/10.

Our lunch was first-rate: the shaved steak sandwiches were done to perfection. Our server and the staff were engaging and friendly. A memorable time for my wife and I on a warm, sunny fall afternoon on the front patio; we look forward to the next time.
