    Had lunch for 5 1975 HS classmates. Wonderful atmosphere and service for our get together. All enjoyed their orders. I had the blue cheese ravioli. The best ravioli I have had in my life! No one can beat their roasted Brussel sprouts. I normally don't even like Brussel sprouts!

    We had a lovely dinner at Xiao Ye. We love the concept and the execution was splendid. The food was fabulous. We especially enjoyed the Shrimp salad My wife was able to enjoy Khao Soi again as the chef was willing to make it gluten free! The staff were engaging as well as knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Would return without hesitation.
