My son and I each go every year on our birthdays and this was no exception. Everything from the egg drop soup to the yuzu ice cream was delish. Lana and gang are always the best.

Comfortable and cozy dining room. Excellent service. Our table ordered chicken, veal and pasta and all were tasty! The front of the restaurant has a spacious bar and booths for more casual dining. It is a 30 min drive and we will be returning!
