    Excellent dinner across the board. Recommend the crunchy tuna rice, the fish and chips and the crème brûlée, you can also get a fairly priced Pappy Van Winkle

    Restaurant is open and beautiful. Food was delicious (for lunch). Service from waiter Kenny was excellent. Just the right amount of "hospitality" with a smile.

    Service was exquisite. I accidentally dropped a fork on the floor and there was one server who immediately picked it up before I could , while a second server reached over my shoulder with a new fork. I’m visiting from the west coast, but will definitely remember this place the next time I’m in town.

    Had a lovely experience. Everything was perfect. We were running 20 minutes late but they accommodated us nonetheless. So appreciative of that.

    Normally service and food are great. Neither was good tonight. I do not recommend the crabcakes at all. All fill, no crab, no crunch and overpowered by green peppers. No traceable avocado. Cacio y Pepe pasta was excellent.

    My reservation was for two, and she mix up the date and did not show. The staff made up for the difference and I had a wonderful evening. The guests at the adjoining table were convivial. My husband joined me for dessert. I had a wonderful time. The food was sensational.
