Food was not as good as previous visits. My fish entree was so-so with a boring presentation. I wasn't impressed. A few things on the menu were "not available". But recession is not evident here judging from the packed dining room. more

Delicious food in a little gem of a restaurant. Nice ambiance, friendly service. Probably the best pastry I've had for dessert in a restaurant in years. Would go often if not across the dratted bridge. more

Amazing steak. It's VERY QUIET. Service is PROFESSIONAL and attentive but not overly in your face. Great place for dinner with your parents or with someone that you really, really care about...because you actually enjoy TALKING with them. more
