This is such a great neighborhood restaurant. The food is always very good and the service is excellent! We started with the sweet corn agnolotti. Next was the watermelon and tomato salad. My husband had the halibut and I had the special of the night, pork chop. Everything was prepared perfectly and presented beautifully. Becca is an excellent server!

Our first visit and we will be back! The food was excellent. Filet Mignon evening special and the schnitzel! The schnitzel easily beat those in Europe that I have had. Our server was outstanding. Knew we were not in a rush and gave us the time to thoroughly enjoy the evening. Highly recommend a visit!
