We always enjoy our meals here. The service is casual but excellent and the wines are good and reasonably priced. We don't get to eat at fine dining restaurants very often so we appreciate knowing we will have a good experience and decent value.

The food was delicious. Staff was warm and welcoming. We had movie tickets that night and thought 1.5 hours was enough time but had to skip dessert so allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy dinner.
