This restaurant is a favorite of my boyfriends and mine. You can almost find us there every Sunday for the brunch. The baked brie is fabulous, and served with apples, carrots, and bread. We replicate the recipe at home it is so yummy. The brie and strawberry french toast is amazing as well. The champagne with brunch is around $5, but this includes two complimentary refills. If you are an egg lover, be sure to ask that they are not overdone. The sandwiches are yummy as well as the salads and soups. If it is your birthday, you will receive a complimentary dessert, such as the yummy tiramisu as I did. I recommend this restaurant for lunch/brunch, but the main courses are great as well. Staff is very friendly and will remember your face. Enjoy!

Pros: The Brie! Great brunch! Friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere.

Cons: None.

I went to this restaurant with my wife the other night for the first time. As noted in other reviews, this restaurant has good service. We started off with some appetizers and were pleasantly surprised. We both ordered pasta dishes..... the sauces were very good, but the pasta was entirely over cooked. We returned our dishes and asked that they be re-cooked. After a few minutes, the waitress returned with our dishes. Again, the pasta was over cooked and this time, they were lukewarm (at best). The waitress noticed that we stopped eating our dinner. She looked apologetic and told us that the pasta is pre-cooked and heated when ordered. For anyone that knows pasta, this is a no-no. I would have preferred if they made us wait for pasta that was aldente. It was a shame, again, because the sauce was good. They gave us a discount on the check, which was a nice gesture but the damage had been done. If you're looking for a good pasta dish, this is not the place. I'm sure their grilled entrees are good, but I don't think I'll find out.

Pros: Good service

Cons: Pasta is over cooked
