Relocated from the corner, the new restaurant is nice. Ebullient atmosphere during this review on a Thursday evening. Booths very narrow for groups of four commensals. The food is exquisite, ranging from heavier dishes to lighter fare. Several beers on tap, including some impressive domestics.

Had the pleasure of earring at DalSace. The food and service were outstanding—especially the pork chop, which may have been the best. I highly recommend it. The desserts were also excellent. Ask for Gino, great service.
