    Best restaurant in downtown Middletown. Great for a date night, client meeting, or girls' night out. Best wine list in town.

    The appetizers are better than the meal, I assure you. Skip table, go straight to bar, order a bottle of their Syrah, and get the boneless buffalo wings. The sauce is apparently a secret.

    Food was good but service quite slow. Since it was Valentines Day I can understand. Willing to try again.
