    We picked this restaurant based on some family history. My parents ate here on their honeymoon 70 years ago. You could feel the history in the room. Everything from the greeting to the last bite was excellent. The service (Liam) was excellent. The food outstanding! The ambiance was perfect.

    Lovely lunch with great ambience and delicious food. We were seated early even though we had a reservation. It’s bigger than I thought and we went through a few rooms before being seated. It was a smaller room but felt comfortable. We ordered drinks, Bloody Mary and a mimosa. My husband had the Eggs Benedict and said it was the best he ever had. That is a lot coming from a very picky eater. I had the steak with potatoes with sunny side up egg. It was delicious. It was worth the drive.
