Had a great date night with my wife. The food was really good—especially the pasta with merguez sausage, which was absolutely delicious. We were hoping to try the pizza, but unfortunately, it’s not available during dinner service and our reservation was at 5:45, which was a bit of a letdown. The wine was excellent, a Rhône-style GSM blend offered by the glass as well. Fairly priced and great quality. Highly recommend this place. Thanks for a lovely evening—we’ll definitely be back!

The food and service were outstanding. We ordered 3 appetizers and all were delicious --the duck liver mousse, octopus in a delicious sauce and crispy potatoes. The cavaletti pasta and pork chop were delicious as well. Corkage fee $35.00. I love all the different rooms you can dine in - different and outside patio is nice as well.

Best meal that we have had in a long time! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Our server, Jane, was a pleasure. If we lived closer, we would be regulars!

Charming atmoshere, friendly and accomodating waitstaff, fabulous food. We loved the artichoke bisque so much we ordered it twice. I've eaten a lot of octopus over the years. This has been my favorite so far. Great custom mocktail. A real treat.

Really great, historical building and an interesting setting. Atmosphere is casual, but elegant at the same time. However, it was probably one of the worst meals that I have ever had at a restaurant. We won’t be going back.
