   What a delightful surprise. This was definitely not your run of the mill "american cuisine". While the selection is small, the tastes are BIG! I never thought I would rave about a Mushroom Bisque soup, but there you have it. On a dinner for two it was great to get two items from each course and share. Definitely a thumbs up with a return visit in the works.

   Food was excellent service was awesome. Kia gave us great recommendation! We ordered way too much food and couldn’t take it with us because we were going to a show but it was worth it! We will be back!

   Alexis was adept at handling a table where the 4 of us were constantly gabbing. She checked in enough to make sure we had anything we needed, but wasn't intrusive and didn't rush us. The food was great even though we only focused on appetizers and salads. We each had the Italian chopped salad with added chicken. The presentation was odd as the chicken was plated separately. Not sure if that was because we split the salad or not. The flavors were very good. For appetizers, Alexis recommended the eggplant prepared tableside and it did not disappoint. The bread was a great vehicle for the taste. The bread and butter was fine but additional bread was needed compared to the 3 butters provided. Finally, the french onion spread with potato chips as the delivery mechanism was outstanding. Atmosphere was noisy but not painfully so. As we stayed longer than most, it was quite pleasant and peaceful toward the end when the restaurant cleared out some. The patio must be nice when the weather is appropriate. Great people watching.

    From the minute we walked in, immediately seated for our reservation…our server arrived right when we sat down. Drinks came promptly, food came very fast even on a busy Sat night. We had all the course, it was all so, so good!
