    Reliably extraordinary dining, expert service, elegant & welcoming. The Christmas dinner goose with all the trimmings is a favorite. But so is the schnitzel, the sauerbraten, the goulash and every other offering to date (5+ years now).

    What a treasure this long time neighborhood restaurant is. Portuguese, French and Italian classics, lovingly prepared and reasonably priced. Look for the octopus dishes, the sardines, and the Portuguese sausage. Perfect place to go after a walk in Brookside Hardens
