Only complaint is that my daughter and I were both getting sneezy from the fresh baby breathe that was on the table… but that isn’t their problem and I thought it looked very nice. Service and food was very good.

We had the scallops, steak filet, and crab cakes. All were cooked to perfection, with beautiful flavor profile. Our server was very attentive, kind and not overly intrusive. We had a very lovely mother/daughter dinner date before my dress fitting downtown. Highly recommend!
