    Very nice decor and atmosphere. Excellent service. Extensive liquor/wine collection. Menu is eclectic, ranging from reasonable to expensive. Food was over-salted which overpowered flavors.

    Love sitting in the outdoor area where it’s a quieter. Service was fantastic and food was delicious. The eggplant and zucchini slices have quickly become a favorite appetizer.
