    Had the veal milanese - fabulous! also the 10 oz filet - very good - ordered it medium rare, was very rare but I didn't mind! Also, the veal chop - very good flavor but quite a bit of fat which made it a little hard to eat - don't know if I would get it again... Appetizers were both great - Eggplant rollatini and Shrimp St. Thomas! One of our go toCLT restaurants - consistently good food and great service!

    Never disappoints! There is a reason this consistent & cozy neighborhood spot has been open for 30+ years. It probably doesn’t have more buzz by design…the CLT locals want to be able walk in and get a table or a seat at the bar on any random weekday🙋‍♀️ Charming and romantic in the dining room, friendly & fun at the bar. Plus it’s just plain delicious.
