    This is an interesting place. Apparently the chef was on Chopped. From the taste of the food it is apparent. Small intimate place. Great date nite. Thanks to Emily at the Marriott for the suggestion.

    Great food and atmosphere! The price is high, but you get your money’s worth. Would recommend for those that can afford it, or special occasions!
