RESTAURANT

 

Welcomed at the door by partner Van Hale, guests are at once immersed in a quaintly elegant atmosphere provided by our original town-site house and tasteful table settings. The evening is guided with unrivaled service by our subtle, accomplished staff.

 

With only 14 tables in our house, we serve an average of 60 guests each night. Reservations are highly recommended.
