Beautiful space in tastefully updated historic building. Food is good quality and well presented and our waiter was outstanding. We loved that the sound level was actually peaceful. Only concern was that our wedge salad contained ingredients not listed on the menu. One was bacon. Since many folks have food restrictions, we suggested they list everything on the menu. They were receptive and understanding. Would definitely return!

    OMG, we missed this place so much, Suzan was so wonderful and her recommendations exceeded our expectations, food, service, beautiful piano ambience plus the interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, manager stopped multiple times and made sure we were happy, wonderful restaurant and we couldn’t pick a better place to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Thank you Suzan for making us feel so special and the whole staff for this wonderful experience.
