“ I am delighted to find a place that was responsive to any menu item modification I needed as I have multiple food sensitivities. More importantly they have a rather large selection of dishes all of which are expertly prepared and delicious. Prices were great and the food prep area was very clean. I have been twice and will go again and again until I must leave at which time I will endeavour to take chef and his restaurant home with me, wishful thinking but I cannot proselytize enough how great this place is, excellent, primo food, 20 out of 5 really topnotch ”
