Always a great place to dine. It was a chilly night but the ambience was friendly and the food is always first-rate. The staff are pleasant and helpful. It's a small place which also makes it cozy and inviting. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent restaurant! We love the food, service and ambiance. It's small and reservations are recommended, but you won't regret planning a little ahead so you can enjoy their delicious food. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is consistently solid all around. The place was packed with a room full of happy diners and lots of to go orders being picked up for New Year's Eve. There was one or two people working front of house and they were hustling all night. Well done! The food was fantastic what a great way to close out 2025. It continues to be our go to when craving warm and delicious meals.
