Chef did pretty good. Servet was not the best. Asked to speak with Steve was told he would coming he never came. no Manager touch the table to ask if everything was fine. Spending over two hundred dollars.

We sat in a cozy area to the left of the entrance, near the coffee bar. We have always on the past been deated in the larger dining area. We really enjoyed our “new” location! It felt warm and cozy, and appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff.

Food is always consistent. The booth though was very tight for 6 people. Table was overwhelmed with plates, glasses, coffee cups. The table we had really would have been better for 4. Need round tables for 6. That is my ONLY complaint. Wasn’t happy when hostess sat us there, even with reservations we had made. Thank you

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We loved our first visit here. Lively but not too loud, great appetizers and good mains. I wasn’t impressed by the wine list of white ( by the glass overwhelmingly all sav blanc) but Caymus by the glass was good to see. Dessert just order the chocolate. Nice additions with hand cloths and aperitifs. Nice wait staff. We will be back.
