Wonderful food, charming location, and a great cause. Took my mom there for her birthday. The food was really great, the people working there are all very nice, and it was just a great time. The building is in great shape but it’s old and a bit cramped. Made navigating it with older parents a bit of a chore but nobody was complaining.

What a fantastic restaurant. Serice and food was outstanding. We made reservations, we were sat right on time and our waitress was promptly at our table to take our drink order. We ordered an artichoke app that was delicous. The breat was excellent as well. Next for the main course i ordered one of the many the specials, black cod, my fish was exquisitely prepared. We shared a chocolate dessert and ended the evening with the manager checking in to personally thank us. There wasnt anthing i would change. My only wish is that i would have trued this restaurant sooner. We will be back and will tell others.

Difficult to take an old property and try to make it into a semi-upscale restaurant. We ordered a basic meal so we can't comment on their high end dishes. Music was too loud impeding conversation. The French onion soup had like a paper price tag in it and the onions could have been cut shorter to stay on your spoon. The chocolate dessert was to die for however! A nice place to try something a little different.

Our server, Clarence, was an absolute delight. He informed us of all the specials and he was attentive without making us feel rushed. We opted for the charcuterie, which was the perfect amount and variety of meats, and the fromage. He brought someone over to inform us about the available cheeses, and he was incredibly knowledgeable. My friends each had steak, and both were prepared exactly as requested. I had the horseradish crusted salmon. It was excellent. The horseradish crust was not overpowering, it added just the right amount of flavor and texture. The hostess was kind enough to take a photograph for us when we left. We loved the concept behind the restaurant as well. We will definitely return.
