Great little place. It’s tough getting a sit down restaurant in December with a group of people. I made a reservation this time and I’m so glad I did. We had the room to ourselves! The staff were wonderful and the food was good. Easy for anyone to find something to order. Price was affordable. We will definitely return and recommend to anyone. It was a very pleasant experience. So glad I found this place.

Went in before a show at the Lyceum and it was perfect. The cocktails and food were very tasty, as well as the pace of the meal was good. Felicity, the server, was lovely and very accommodating!

Very nice dining experience in a great location for anyone going to the theatre. We ate on a Tuesday night which may have been why the restaurant was quiet but the ambience was very enjoyable. Our servers were attentive, courteous, and made us feel at home. The shepherds pie is solid though not spectacular. There was a salmon special that was excellent. The mini lamb chops are a nice way to start. All in all a very nice place for a casual dinner.
