"Go early or later, the mid shift gets really busy and a little wait time will be necessary. The ambiance was that of a nice bistro. The food was outstanding. TVhe choices this trip was Mac and cheese and the birdie torte. The mac and cheese did not have the bread crumb topping however it was adorned by a layer of nicely melted mozzarella. The torte had a slice of great tender chuck and had a cup of au due that was spiced with chili. It was perfection in a sandwich. The prices may seem high but the experience will leave you wanting to come back really soon. Well done friendly. Courteous staff. We'll done chef as well. See you soon. 32"
