    We loved the truffle, french fries, the short ribs, and the gnocchi. Also the orange ricotta donuts, and Keylime pie for dessert. The waitstaff were knowledgeable, prompt, and very pleasant. I did leave with a sore throat because it was necessary to carry on a conversation, and even so we couldn’t hear each other.

    I was craving a cheeseburger and decided on a whim to grab lunch here. I’d had dinner here a few year prior and remember really enjoying my meal. The burger was exactlyyyy what I was craving - perfectly melted cheese, seasoned meat, perfect bun. It really hit the spot! Our server was great too, attentive and helpful. Had the beet salad for a starter - delicious. The flourless chocolate cake was very rich and yummy too!

    Wonderful drinks and meal, impeccable service! So impressed with the level of service!! Dips appetizer was soo good and plentiful. We ordered the salmon and halibut and both were really tasty and perfectly cooked with delicious pairings of veggies, risotto/rice and sauces. Highly recommend!!

    My mussels were good and the baguette with them was delicious. Everyone else had the schnitzel, which they seemed to enjoy. My husband said the asparagus and mashed potato sides were particularly tasty. Nice beer selection. Only complaint was noise level. I look forward to being able to eat outside this summer.

    Great brunch, just a touch loud when looking for a quiet Sunday afternoon to wind down the weekend. Great food and service!
