always excellent. this is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants when we want a reliably good meal. it's always a pretty restaurant, though the patio is nice. drinks are well prepared, they have a nice wine list. food is very fresh, seasonal, presented beautifully and the service is excellent 99% of the time. if you are dining with someone and want to visit, this is a great place as the noise is never overwhelming. if you have a seat where you can see into the kitchen, enjoy the show. it can be a little confusing as there are two entrances into the restaurant so don't be surprised if you feel you are walking in the back door. enjoy it--we always do!
