We enjoyed ourselves; my daughter ordered the ravioli, which she stated was very tasty. She just wished it was s little more, she didn’t know the portion was small. My husband and I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich…excellent, just needed a little more pesto or a special mustard sauce

Food is phenomenal. Service was great. Wine was good. You can see into the kitchen and it was so quiet in there. Great place for dinner. Breakfast oatmeal with brûlée bananas was also amazing.
