    Our first time there .exceeded all our expectations . The menu was extensive and interesting .the food was presented in the manner of a top nyc restaurant and the taste was fabulous . The cocktails before the meal were delicious and interesting some new to us . The lamb chops were perfect and juicy the ossobucco raviolis were sinful and amazing . Our friends had halibut and scallops that they could not stop talking about . Great service lovely staff and very good value not over priced at all. We have a new favorite place to take friends to dinner and this is it.

    This was the second time I have been there for lunch. Everything was excellent. Would not hesitate to return in the future. French Onion Soup was terrific. French fries are narrow and crisp and not greasy. Everything else was delish including desserts.
