    Very attentive service, although we were on a weeknight. Appetizers, especially the macaroni with Gueyere cheese was to die for. The chicken in a crock was oversalted and had only dark meat. Avoid. Scallops were great. Pork was okay. But overall, we recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

    Service was friendly but a bit slow. It took us more than 10 minutes to be asked about drinks. Perhaps they’re understaffed? Food was very good although we were surprised the entrees had no vegetables/sides. Ambiance was lovely — quiet and relaxing.

    The new menu and environment were wonderful and the service was excellent as usual. It was good to see the table-side Caesar salad back on the menu.
