    What a charming, unpretentious place to have a damn good meal that won't break the bank. Couldn't recommend enough.

    The service was excellent. Highly advised to make reservations in advance since seating is very limited. The food was delicious and options were plentiful.

    First time coming in and it did not disappoint! The food was incredible. We ordered a seasonal special, the tartare and duck Peking and just WOW. Hot, delicious, hit all the good flavors (salt, fat, acid, heat) and just tasted so so good. The hostess and waitress were just OUTSTANDING individuals. I forget who the lovely hostess’ name was but the waitress was Heather. They were so informative about the menu, extremely patient, considerate, kind, just wonderful human beings which when you dine in a restaurant, the service truly makes or breaks the experience and this definitely made it. Cannot wait to dine here again!!
