  • It was a nice intimate place.
  • The restaurant was mediocre.
  • Everything was great, except a bit salty for our taste.
  • The varied menus at this small and sophisticated spot are always creative, with consistently high quality and perfect wine pairing suggestions....The tiny but passionate staff share their vast expertise with each table and enhance the fun of the experience, as well as our own knowledge.
