    We dine here often. I think this must have been an off night. The service was friendly but slow. Don’t want to be too negative because it’s a wonderful place and we dine there often. Usually a very good experience.

    The beef short ribs were exceptional. Nice cocktails. Ask for wines by the glass. Cozy atmosphere!
