As usual, a great meal thoughtfully prepared. The Valentine’s Day menu included 3 shared appetizers, a choice of 3 entrees and a choice of 2 desserts. The food is always creative and interesting- not the standard boring fare at other places. Service was attentive even though they were very busy. Always at the top of our list.

We had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. I forget our server's name (possibly George or something that starts with a J?) but he truly loved what he did and it showed. We split the Vlach Giorti and enjoyed every option on the platter. Definitely make a reservation and expect a possible delay just incase
