    Nice little venue on a quiet street, good food and very kind waitress. A bit pricy though

    Amazing food. Four people in my group had four different things they each loved. Pleasant and attentive waitstaff, and a lovely cozy atmosphere. A little chilly inside on a winter night, but that's the only fault I could find and the food more than made up for that. What a gem.

    We did the NYE Pre-Fix menu and it was amazing. So well-priced and the food was DELICIOUS! We were with a group of 5 people and every single person liked every single one of their three courses! Our waiter, Zack, was the best part about the experience. He was bubbly, legitimately excited that we had chosen that restaurant, and got every order and request correct. We will be back very soon!
