Our waitress was extremely attentive and I loved my appetizer (sliced duck with truffles and almonds) and entree (the pork chop). ”

The sauce was delicious, the saving grace of the dish, as I was able to dip the pork chop into the sauce, but shouldn't the pork chop hold its own without being so dry I needed to dip it? ”

Average food, terrible service ”
- “
Great food, great people, great space ”
