We loved it. We came here as a family of 4 for my husbands birthday. We were able to get a 5:30 reservation, 2 days out. We arrived at 5:00 and waited on the benches outside and people watched and visited. We were the first to be seated and the restaurant filled up quickly. We happened to have a bottle of wine that was given to my husband earlier in the day, so that worked out great. Corkage is $18. The atmosphere was just what I was looking for a special occasion and I love the music they play, at a perfect volume. I had the roast chicken with mushrooms and mashed potatoes - very delish! My husband and daughter thought likewise of the brisket. My youngest daughter enjoyed the pasta with wild boar ragu. We also shared, the best brussel sprouts we'd ever had. I guess the secret ingredient was pork fat..no wonder they were so good. The only thing I wasn't impressed by was the spaghetti, but my daughter liked it and ate it all. I thought it was nothing special, but many people rave about it here. We had the grilled calamari with warm bean salad, also good. For dessert, oh my, we had the panna cotta and the warm, filled, donuts, I don't remember what they were called, but were a wonderful way to finish a memorable meal. Service was perfect. Friendly, but professional. Not a hint of snobbery (pet peeve of mine). Yes, it was pricey, but it was a special occasion for us, and we felt it was worth it.
