Excellent food, suitable for clients. The rotisserie chicken is amazing as is anything made with it. The music was a little loud at lunch but otherwise it's a great option for downtown dining.

I took my wife out for her birthday and it was a near perfect dining experience. Each course was perfectly prepared and delicious. We started with the crispy mushrooms which were to die for. We both had the petite filet mignon as our main course and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Can’t wait to go back.
