    Another delicious meal last night! We had the soup special, which was so tasty and perfect for a chilly fall night. We split the prawns, carrots (which my friend said was the best she’s ever had) and a salad. We will be going back for another girls night soon!

    This restaurant is a gem. From the servers to the chefs it is one of the best restaurants we have been to. It is pricey but so worth it. Our server Sara was a delight, full of knowledge about the menu and offerings and went out of her way to help us find a place to go for Thanksgiving. The Endive salad and pizzas are perfect. Squid ink pasta was different and delicious and salmon crudo was delightful. Drinks are on point. Really can't go wrong with any of the offerings here. Try it!
