"A lovely diner evening, and enjoyable experience. Great, well balanced menu from which I would highly recommend The brussels sprouts as a starter. For a main I had The bronzed Atlantic Salmon which was delicious. The service was fantastic. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, very attentive to our table, and very friendly. Interior of the dinning area is very well laid out and makes for a very welcoming environment. Would love to eat here again."

"Wonderful atmosphere. Not too noisy. Great service and AMAZING food. Made reservations online. Was greeted quickly and professionally upon entry. It was crowded but it didn't feel overwhelming and the staff was great. Food came out in good time, from soups to entree. I'm big on presentation and both dishes were plated nicely. Their wine list is intense, in a good way. You are sure to find something you like. Even if it's just for a side of the mac and cheese, I'll be back!"
