My son and I throughly enjoyed our dining experience! We went on a Wednesday, were warmly greeted and seated right away for our 5::45 reservation, The mussels in saffron were fantastic, the sauce so flavorful. I had the risotto with summer vegetables which was unique and every bite was different’. My son had the salmon which was perfectly cooked. Give this intimate restaurant a try!
