Stunning design & renovation of historic building…unique touches, intimate personal feel…option for upscale dining upstairs, intimate bar downstairs. Service was first rate, menu diverse but also simple options that are of top quality & exceptionally prepared…pricey, but not excessive for what you get. I’ll definitely go back & will recommend to friends. Enjoy

The staff graciously adapted when we arrived with a party of 8, rather than the 6 for which I had reserved. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food, and the final bill with the added tip, was very reasonable. We were pleased with everything--service, food, ambiance. We will return often.
