    Food was excellent, as was the service. Very kind server kept my husband's food under a warmer for him because he had an important call that kept him away from his food for a while.

    This restaurant is amazing! I’m traveling for work and support farm-to-table where possible for so many reasons. I was staying near this restaurant and lucked out. Last night I had the mushroom pappardelle with scallops. That meal was so good that I went back tonight (the next night) and had one of their specials - wild sea bass with saffron couscous and a mushroom, tomato compote followed be a dessert special of cranberry gingerbread with an orange glaze. The service was excellent and the food was beyond good!
