From the outside it looked z as bandied and we were early for a 12:15 lunch. But certainly not inside. The wait staff was very attentive throughout our meal. We had stuffed artichoke and tuna tartare as shared appetizers and we shared a turkey burger and fries. Lastly we had cherry pie. We left nothing. All was delicious and we look forward to returning for dinner or who knows what. Excellent!!
