The restaurant is very inviting, and the tables are quite comfortable and well sized. The wait staff was very attentive but not overwhelming. The food is very tasty and well-presented. The special feature of giving nutritional information for their dishes is very helpful for those of us who watch our caloric and salt intake. The portions were generous, and sides, while on the menu, were not needed.
I went there for a New Year's Eve special with dinner, dancing, and celebration. (I have not listed the price because it would not be representative for ordinary meals.) The four-course prix fixe menu had some delightful festive notes--lobster, rack of lamb, unusual cheeses. Best of all, the portions were of just the right size to enjoy the flavors and ingredients, but small enough not to strain the waistline at the end of the annual gluttony season.
The ambiance was relaxed yet welcoming. The manager and the servers seemed as if even they were enjoying this night of partying.
I have not been there for a regular meal, but I look forward to going back again soon.
