What a beautiful hidden gem of a restaurant! The outside of the building is unassuming and the inside gorgeous. Dimly lit, classy, timeless. The choices are incredible and the menu is huge. Our Waitress, Rebecca, was fantastic - knowledgeable, helpful, funny. And the food is great. We will be back!
