General Notes

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is excellent and they also offer a $44 fixed-prix 3-course menu option. The interior decor is very romantic (perhaps slightly too dark for my preference). I would definitely recommend this place for a date or some other special occasion!

Dishes Tasted
  • ★★★☆ Melting Chocolate Cake
  • ★★★★ Cavatelle -- House prepared ricotta pasta, sausage, peas, mushrooms, pancetta, and cream. Absolutely delicious!
  • ★★☆☆ Duck Breast -- This dish doesn't show up on the menu and I don't remember it super well. It was served over a bed of lentils and some sauce. The flavor is good, although the duck may have been slightly underseasoned. As a whole, the composition of the dish was a little strange.
