Important Note
While generally highly rated, some reviews suggest the restaurant can be pricey, and a few opinions indicate a decline in its quality or that it might be considered too casual for certain upscale occasions. One specific dish, the Cornmeal Crusted Oyster Mushrooms, was advised against due to a poor breading-to-mushroom ratio.
