We loved the popovers with strawberry butter and the broth. My beet carpacio salad was terrific as was my daughters tuna melt and friens (I ate her leftovers). Such a fun break in between a lovely day of shopping with my daughter.

Seeing how the reservation was made more than a week in advance we didn't buy that excuse. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table- one that wasn't meant for a party of five. The host was not nice, seemed bothered by us, and never made an effort to correct the problem. Food was mediocre.

Every diner had a lemon except mine. I'm always given a refill without asking on my Iced Tea, nothing offered. Not even a coffee refill.
