Really impressed with the quality of the food. Everything we had was made with good ingredients and was prepared and served with care. I'm honestly surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating, I think it's a gem. The value for the food was also really good. Plus I love the open Tavern feel in a live music. It provided excellent Ambience for our romantic Saturday dinner. Thanks Jill and to all the friendly staff.
