Very impressed. Cocktail & French wines were superior. Strip steak, med rare, was thick, jucy and perfectly cooked. Brussel sprouts with crispy sweet edges and succulent centers. Best swordfish ever, juicy & tender, al dente pasta with picatta sauce and extra butter was divine! Asparagus cooked perfectly. Berry topped cheesecake was excellent. One of the best meals we've had in town. Server Ethan, was excellent, knowledgeable and personable. Cozy ambiance. Highly recommend.
