My husband and I made reservations for dinner at 5:30 but we called ahead to say we would be 15 minutes late. They changed our reservation to 5:45pm. They were also running late on reservations due to large parties arriving late to be seated. The manager/ hostess were very accommodating compting our apps at the bar until we got seated at a nice table in the upstairs dining room. The food was delicious as well as the cocktails. The food was worth the wait. The staff was friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner even though we had to wait 30 minutes for a table. All was forgiven and we would definitely go back again!

Sweet place with a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Endive salad was superb. Octopus fresh and well presented. ONLY criticism- leave the croutons out of the squash soup- no need.
