    The bistro is under new management, bringing some noticeable changes. The menu has been updated and the quality feels different from what I’ve come to expect. I’ve always enjoyed coming here, and I hope to see the quality improve so I can continue to make it a regular spot.

    The food was delicious, the service friendly, and of course it’s a lovely venue, with the best patio, (though we ate inside on a chilly day).
