    Dined on Jun 26, 2026
    I have been championing the idea of eating here for THREE years now, ever since I read about them in the CT magazine restaurant addition of July 2023. I had high expectations and they were exceeded. The food was so creative and so delicious, the staff was cheerful and accommodating and human, the ambience was really sexy. I would run, not walk, to have dinner there. Parking is easy: either on the street (limited) or very affordable at the lot across from the end of the one-way Markle Court. The only slight negative I have about the place is that it is quite loud. It might benefit from some kind of soft surface treatments on the walls or the ceilings. Fabric hangings, tablecloths… That kind of thing.
