Great table, great waitress, and great food. Chicken saltimbocca is a great dish. The only thing with our visit (it’s our fault) is that it was prom weekend and there were loads of younger people in there, who were loud! Good for them, they were having a great time, but it did mean we struggled a little with conversations at times. Great place, will be back soon!
