Oxtail truffle risotto , squab three-ways, lamb chops , and the duck were magnificent. Meet the chef if you can.

The food here is not to be missed. Try the corn fritter soup or the tomato . Portions are large enough to share for a small charge.

Brett Copeland

The food is amazing! Save room for dessert and get the caramel budino .

Melissa Yee
