Over all nice dinner out. Decor while on the nicer side is much more suited for a wedding or shower setting. Nice restaurant in difficult parking location. Happily greeted upon entering. Quickly seated but service while good is slow. It seems like they were doing one seating a night and encouraged it. There is live singing by a couple that were good and pleasant. They encourage requests and are accommodating. Only complaint was it was too loud for the type of music and trying to have dinner conversation. Would have liked a few more entre choices since I make several at home, but there is something for everyone. Tried the Negroni with Bombay gin, when done right it is really good, this was close, a little heavy handed on the pour, more is not always better. Started with the mussels and the wine sauce had good flavor and we enjoyed dipping bread ????. Chicken picatta was good but light on the sauce, none was found on the plate when done. Chicken was tender no sense of being microwaved??

Great happy hour, the bartender John was supppper welcoming and kind!! We then moved to the dining area, we got to enjoy our dinners and live music. It was all very delicious and the dessert was so good, we got more at the end. Cute place, you would have never guessed it was there looking from the outside.
