"We come here often because the food is always great. Sunday the place was very empty and there was only one girl working. I think there were just too many people for her. We had to wave her down for everything. I had to grab the bartender to have him get me a 2nd glass of wine. Other than that it was great as usual."

"Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Had 2 o'clock reservations and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was pretty quiet compared to some other brunch places in the city, so good for conversations. Food was decent, and they have an unlimited champagne option which was a plus. Would definitely come back again!"

"Friends had recommended this place to us. We finally made it here and were not disappointed. The food, service and ambiance were all wonderful. We would definitely go back and recommend to others. Prices were very reasonable. One thing - and this seems to be a trend in a lot of restaurants, the price of wines by the glass seem to keep rising."

"What a pleasant surprise! We picked this restaurant because it was convenient to our granddaughter's school. When we saw there was an inexpensive 3-course dinner we were quite concerned since that is generally not a good sign as far as food quality is concerned. To our delight everything we ate was very well prepared and delicious. The pork cutlet was among the best I ever had. We will definitely be back!!!"
