Walk in and you're immediately struck by how they've managed to feel both relaxed and refined; there's an ease to the service that comes from actually knowing what they're doing. Whether you're settling in for a proper lunch or bringing someone special for dinner, there's an understated confidence to how they run things. The space rewards lingering, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in what lands on your plate.
