    We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

    Food, service and concept are outstanding. The food is refined and flavorful, and the selection is just right. Same goes for the drinks: not extensive but top notch quality and just the right sorts. The concept is beautiful, tasteful, really nice and with subdued elegance, without being pretentious. Loved the covered patio where we ate, though it was pretty loud in spite of the tables not being crowded. Parking was easy. The outside patio is under renovation (in December), cannot wait to enjoy it when it gets warmer and when it will be ready.
