    We had a fantastic experience celebrating my daughter’s graduation. Despite having to change the reservation due to traffic and no indoor tables being available, Molly went above and beyond to seat us inside during a very busy time. The food was outstanding, the ambiance elegant, and the entire evening was unforgettable.

    My friends and I went for dinner. I'd never been. There were a number of diners outside but we were the only ones eating inside by the open windows. There were a lot of bugs flying around so seating people there wasn't ideal. The food was really good. My friend enjoyed his pizza and my other friend liked the chicken and rice. I had the seared tuna in a pita, which was excellent. The sort of crepes with Nutella were also a big hit. The service inside was pretty slow, which was okay for us as we weren't in a rush.
