    We celebrated three special birthdays that were made even better by a perfect experience in every way. The exceptionally warm and attentive staff adds so much to this place, we felt like we were part of their family. And of course the food was excellent. The appetizer sea scallops dish is one of my all-time favorites. I had a double order as my main course, it was perfecto!

    We have been here several times. My husband has Celiac and it's so wonderful to come to a restaurant that has no gluten so he doesn't have to worry about any cross-contamination. The food is spectacular and you would never know the bread is gluten free. The service is very attentive and the price is reasonable for type of food and service you receive. The restaurant is very small but you feel like if you are in a cozy dining room and in spite of the close proximity to other diners, it still feels very intimate.
