    This is surprisingly large but with lots of different rooms it feels like a “club”. Each room has large paintings from a local art gallery making it feel very striking. The food was excellent, as was the service. Only complaint is that they have no espresso.

    The good: Food and server. The bad: Ambushed by chick curtly urging us to hurry up and eat because they need the table. Time limits are their prerogative but they might consider informing you when you sit down, not when we're ordering more food. If we have 2 hours to eat, then use some common sense and tell us that when we sit down. Hostess on the way out strangely blamed the issue on Open Table.

    My roast duck had delicious flavor but was overcooked. I had trouble cutting with the knife. Wife's fish was also overcooked. Service was excellent.
