The decor and atmosphere of this place are amazing. Food-wise, it was good; I just wish the sampler trio was a bit more substantial. Can't fault them on presentation though.
Loved this place. Great settings and special experience. However the food still have room for improvement but definitely not complaining looking at the price they charged. And yes book a table before you go I got lucky to get a table by walking in but you definitely want to reserve in advance
The most quaint and charming restaurant! Delicious food, entertaining pianos, and attentive service. It feels like you’re transported back to better times.
Generous portions at a reasonable price point. There are several vegan options including a great eggplant Parmesan available with advance request. The butternut Marsala pasta had a flavorful cream sauce and plenty of veggies like squash, mushrooms, zucchini. The profiteroles are crisp and light, drizzled with chocolate sauce and filled with fresh whipped cream.
The self-playing pianos play delightful tunes throughout the evening. It’s like getting dinner and a show. The favorite part of the evening was definitely the drinks! The soda fountain options are creative and tasty. The apricot ambrosia is particularly good, with nice almond flavor that balances the tartness of the apricot. The best drink of the evening was the East Frisia tea service. A hot pot of Assam black tea atop a tea candle to keep it warm arrived on a silver tray with rock sugar. You place cube in the cup and then as the tea is poured over, the cube crackles like an ice cube. Assam tea is reminiscent of English breakfast.
I am so amazed about all the punch card pianos. Food are very delicious. It is a place you must come to visit.
Ordered sampler trio and the tenderloin was really good. Shrimp & salmon were also good but not too surprising.
There are several antique pianos which play “live” music on piano rolls and music box like machines, which was pretty cool. It is amazing they can keep these century old instruments and paper rolls in such good conditions.
