The service was a little slow they told us when they say is we had 90min, it took the waiter at least 25 min to attend to us. A kit you need reservation thank God we need. Had the French onion soup it was just ok not much taste, the car sales was good, the tea a sandwich and biscuit very expensive. The cheeseburger my daughter said was good. You mostly go for the ambience. For 2 people it was a little over $100.

I ordered the buffalo chicken burger, and it was delicious. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The place itself is beautiful, with really nice decor, and the music was good. I didn’t like the cheesecake, but that’s probably because it was baked; I prefer the ones prepared differently. It’s just a personal preference. I really recommend this place.
