    Amazing service and food!! On the pricy side, but that was expected going in. However, you get what you pay for! The ambiance was very romantic. I had the Duck Breast and the chef recommended med-rare. I was hesitant but went with the recommendation. I’m sure glad I did! It was tender, succulent, and all around exquisite! We will return!

    Refined & beautiful restaurant. Both the service and the food were excellent. I had the duck and recommend it without reservation (but you should make a reservation to eat here). The cost is pretty high, but in line with what you receive.

    Nice Ambiance and wait staff all very friendly. Our waiter seemed inexperienced, while easily accessible she had to be reminded. Cheese platter was excellent as was the desert. Tomato soup was also excellent The salmon was soft as if it had been whipped and we couldn't finish eating it so this was very disappointing. The pork chops however were good with a generous portion though a lot of it was fat and bone. The Lucia Pinot Noir $52/half bottle was excellent. We didn't think experience was worth the money and we are unlikely to go again.
