Food: 5/5 Vibe: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall: 5/5
We visited on a Friday evening. The dining area is very small, but cozy. It has the feel of a small wine cellar with a few tables set up. Real linens on the table. Very good service. The menu is limited, but the food was fresh and well prepared. I didn't find it "expensive" but am uncertain what that threshhold would be. It seemed moderate to me.
The lounge area is comfortable, and featured a jazz pianist the night we visited. It's a great casual place for adults to relax, perhaps with a few friends, and linger over a bottle of wine and a cigar. Parking is limited.
We'll be going back.
