    We went for an early seating and were brought to our table immediately. We were asked if we preferred a table or booth (booth) which was easily available. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and very accommodating in finding the answers to our questions. The meals were appropriately cool (salad) and hot (chicken pasta). It was plentiful and will now be a leftover dinner on Saturday!

    Quaint old building and great ambience. Our server was very knowledgeable. We had fantastic cocktails and the wine with dinner. The chicken was amazing and so was the pork chop. The menu was very well thought through and had some unique options. I would go back again! Thank you for the great experience.

    While they were short servers, the one we had (Gabriel) did a great job taking care of us. He was very pleasant despite how busy he was and got our orders perfect. We felt sorry for him but he didn’t seem too bothered how busy he was as he always had a smile on his face. They even had the hostess and manager pitching in to keep things going. And the food was very good and everyone in our group of six was very satisfied.
