    We celebrated our anniversary and it was a lovely night. Our waiter Adonis was attentive, courteous and seemed genuinely happy for us. We ordered the specials. Delicious! Our desserts came with candles! Plus the jazz trio topped off our night by playing "our" song.

    I cannot say enough about how exceptional this entire meal was, from cocktails and conversations with the talented craft cocktailologist to the service over dinner. The food was out of this world and I’ll fly back to this city just to enjoy another meal here! We ended the evening with a table visit by the chef which felt so personal and appreciated. This little gem is truly something special and a meal I’ll never forget!
