    I’ve been meaning to get into this restaurant since it opened and finally made it in. The food was fabulous. Highest quality ingredients. The Duck Pate was so yummy, I can wait to go again for that starter. I had the Duck breast and my husband had the special of the night which was a mushroom risotto and both of us totally enjoyed our entrees. The homemade sorbet was so special and a great way to end the meal. Oh and the wine list, well priced and a great variety.

    As ownership changed, one is always “concerned” when returning to a favorite. No disappointment as food as good as ever, service spot on, and general good feeling and experience of a wonderful meal maintained. Congrats to new ownership and will def come back.
