Was Elisa Schimmel at Character Distinctive Dining a mag?
The restaurant in a restored old house is beautiful and the ambiance is great. The menu is eclectic and we ate mainly from the grazing menu and loved the octopus and scallops. Wine choices are plentiful. Service by Michelle was just right. Leave room for dessert. The only negative is parking, which can be tough to find on a Saturday evening but worth looking for a space.

We visited this restaurant for the first time on a long-overdue date night for my partner and me, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere, the service, and especially the food were all outstanding! I would highly recommend this place to everyone I know, and we will definitely return multiple times.

Great food. Hidden gem. Classy, excellent service, great ambiance. Don't tell your friends or it will get crowded fast! haha The only tricky part is the parking. They don't have a parking lot. Perfect for WAYMO or Lyft. There is a paid parking lot behind the apartment complex to the east of the alley that runs along side of the restaurant. I'm definitely going back.
