"This is a tough one to rate. It's 4.5 stars for us! A quick breakdown review: FOOD: 5 Stars Everything we had from starters to dessert was all magnificent. Seasonings were balanced, flavors were great, and most pleasantly, there was not an overuse of butter or oil in each dish. AMBIENCE: 5 Stars Such a quaint little restaurant! It's small, MAKE SURE you get a reservation. It was crowded the entire time we were there. There were maybe 12 (or less) tables, and some bar seating. The lighting, decor, and vibes were perfect. SERVICE: 4 Stars The ONLY downside to our experience (not including the parking fiasco) is the initial service we received. We were not acknowledged upon entry, and were (what felt like) ignored for a good amount of time before being greeted and asked what were standing there waiting for. It felt very strange, and took a few minutes to shake off the initial greetings we received. HOWEVER, after that point the service was great. Our waitress was a doll, and is a great representation to this restaurant. She had great recommendations, a kind smile with every request, was prompt with everything, and answered all my questions about the history of the establishment with excitement. She was an all star. You want to go here. I want to go back. It was my favorite restaurant in the area that we visited, and we hope to return to enjoy the exquisite cuisine! Just be aware that parking is a hassle! I circled the block several times before finding a spot. There is mainly only street parking."
