One of our preferred special night out restaurants. Excellent service. Food is top quality with nice presentations. Only quibble would be wines by the glass. The choices are decent but not as creative as what you might get from an independent restaurant of the same caliber. Pours are ok but not generous. Staff is excellent and love the live music. Will go again for another special night out.
