My daughter loved the pimento spread. The peaches and creme was delicious and so were the deviled eggs. The carbonaro without the pork did not have much flavor. A more robust cheese would have boasted the flavor. Our waiter was personable and accommodating. We would return.

Do you like wine? Do you like great food? Perhaps you are slightly fatigued from a constant diet of Mickey-shaped processed food? The wine selection is superb. The food was on point (skirt steak was tremendous). Our server, Leah, brought the whole evening together. Will be back. .
