    Dinner was wonderful. The food was excellent. The Salmon Bellini is a must. It was light, delicate, flavorful and melted in your mouth. I had the Braised Short Ribs which was soft and buttery. My husband enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff. The music during dinner was wonderful.. The piano player presented a variety of musics that we could easily enjoy and still have a an intimate conversation at the table. Wonderful elegant date night. We'll be sure to return.
