An excellent restaurant and a historic location overhanging the Red River. Beautiful renovation of an old historic building in the East Exchange District. Food and service was terrific! Been many times for pre-theatre dining and will always come back.

The space was very welcoming. Staff were attentive and friendly. Bruschetta was the favorite dish, pizza was close second. And the fried chicken sandwich was very good, just could have used a punchier sauce. Had a great evening.
