The location is small so highly recommend reservations. I saw several walk-ins turn away due to the wait time provided as it was a Friday night and full reserved except for bar seating, that only opens up as guests leave (only 8 bar seats I believe). Food is fantastic and the Chocolate Lava cake is the best I’ve ever had!!

The atmosphere was quiet, small and intimate. The food was delicious with the exception of the homemade potato chips - I was expect them to be warm but they weren’t.

If you are looking for a lunch that punches above it's weight, this is an excellent choice. The seating capacity is on the low side making for a quiet dining room, even when nearly full. You won't be disappointed for either business or casual purposes.
