We had high expectations and were not disappointed. We brought our own wine, made reservations and everything went smoothly. We were greeted at the door by the owner who introduced himself and seemed very pleasant which was refreshing. We were seated promptly and the server was right there to start us off. We selected the onion tart appetizer. It was good....really good.....we devoured it. Our main course was lamb for her and filet for me. The lamb literally fell off the bone. It was served with a medley of other treats including figs which were very tasty. My filet was cooked just right and served with a generous side of asparagus and some of the best risotto I have had in a very long time. There was this blend of cheese and sweet Moroccan spices in the risotto that was to die for....I think I might have actually blacked out for a moment while eating it. Hell, I am getting light-headed remembering the flavors as I write this review. We finished by sharing the four berry tart for dessert which was good. It wasn't too sweet and it let berries do most of the talkin'.
Our server was a lovely gal who was pregnant. I only mention this fact because I can't remember her name but she was terrific and did a great job. The dining area is small and intimate but we knew this before we went so it was not a problem at all. In fact looking back I rather enjoyed our small corner table next to the widow. I don't dole out 5 stars very often but this place really got it right.
