    Ethels's Fancy is spot on Perfect ! Every Dish prepared with care and creativity - with a wonderful mix of flavors - not just ingredients. Every server and chef is genuinely happy to see you and makes you feel at home. We love to sit at the counter and watch all the action and share all our dishes . The kitchen is very quiet and calm. Great wine list and cocktails to pair with the food. And the price is true value for the quality received . I would like to keep this to myself so I can get a reservation in the future - but seriously you MUST GO -
