Came here for dinner with a friend. Our waiter was very helpful. However, the food took an hour to come out & we had ordered very basic plates.

We were there for brunch yesterday. The food was excellent! However, it took over an hour to receive our food. We were the first ones in the restaurant by about 15 minutes. Not sure what the problem was.

Server was excellent & I could tell she felt bad.

Our party of three had the table d'hôte. Fabulous antipasti, extraordinary fresh pasta, great drinks, desserts to die for. Our only regret, not asking the name of the young lady who served us. Her charm alone is reason enough to go back. Kudos!

Kudos to the chef! For lunch at AF I tried the fried oyster mushroom sandwich & it was outstanding. Came with a tasty salad. The tower of a sandwich must be eaten with fork & knife because it's about 5' tall. Now I understand why they are called Oyster mushrooms... tasted a little like fried oysters.
Delicious & a very good value these days for a great meatless meal ($21) Sorry I didn't take a photo of this beautiful dish.
