I was here while in town on business about 3 weeks back.
It’s an upscale local place just a few blocks from City Hall, and located within reasonable walking distance of the main downtown hotels.
My date for the night had heard good things but wasn’t sure whether us was a casual place or a ‘date’ place. Having seen it now I understand her confusion. It’s in a casual place kind of area, and the vibe inside wavers between upscale and casual. It’s small - I’d suggest reservations as we didn’t have one and were seated but ‘on the clock’ as the table was reserved later on. I get why they bring it up, but you get the feeling that they don’t appreciate the walk-in business.
The menu is a little on the eclectic side and a bit limited, portions are relatively small - you definitely don’t want to order a ‘small plate’ unless you’re treating it as a la Carter and are ordering multiples to share. The food is well prepared, and very nicely presented. The quality is quite good, and should be for the price. The beer/wine list is extensive and with broad appeal although regrettably they were having problems with their draft system the night we visited.
It’s pricey- around $150-160 bar and tip in. I didn’t mind it, but won’t call it good value. It was fine but I wasn’t blown away. I understand some of he mixed commentary- but that said, if you’re looking for a nicer type of place in the area it’s worth trying.
Excellent food and service. Each item we ordered was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend the smoked trout deviled eggs and the eggplant lasagna.
Delicious food!! Excellent service. Great ambiance.
The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because the music was very loud leading people to talk louder.
I definitely recommend the place!!
