Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We loved our first visit here. Lively but not too loud, great appetizers and good mains. I wasn’t impressed by the wine list of white ( by the glass overwhelmingly all sav blanc) but Caymus by the glass was good to see. Dessert just order the chocolate. Nice additions with hand cloths and aperitifs. Nice wait staff. We will be back.
