Our player pianos make us unique! But our food makes us special. We feature rich European-influenced American dishes using things like:
- Eggs from vegetarian-fed free-range chickens, high in healthy Omega 3 fatty acids
- White whole wheat flour, a variety naturally high in fiber yet light enough for pastry
- Vegetables from local farms that are certified organic growers
- Butter, milk, and ice cream from grass-fed cattle, another Omega 3 source.

Our food is not low-fat or low-calorie, but its ingredients are healthful. The meal will leave you feeling reinvigorated, not weighed down!

    I love this place. The service is impeccable, the food is always delicious, and all the antique pianos and music boxes create a wonderful ambiance. This last visit was for our 30th wedding anniversary, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it anywhere else.

    A really interesting place, with some great ideas, but overall not great. It was neat to see all the music machines, and the phosphates were excellent and unique. Everything else was underwhelming and the food highly overpriced.

    So happy to find a restaurant that cares about sourcing of food comes from. (I only eat grass fed beef)

    A great place to celebrate a birthday with friends. The instruments and music are outstanding and the staff, if not busy, answered our questions and opened up the instruments to show the mechanisms behind.
