    I stayed at the hotel and had my Birthday lunch with my family. The Burrata is divine and a must-order. They have a great selection of main dishes, with a wonderful alternative dessert option of cheeses. With many drink choices, my favorite was the Pommery from Champagne, France. Aside from the wonderful food and drinks, we sat outside on the balcony which had heat lamps for the winter chill, and a quiet but musical ambiance. Staff service was 10/10 with attention, knowledge, and interactions. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking to elevate a special night out into an experience to remember.

    First time, and totally recommend here. We were there on a Saturday evening when there was live music as well. Food was delicious, Best gnocchi I have had - they were so light. We had crab cakes, burrata, salad with fillet and fries and a delicious crème brûlée. Connected with the Market next but a more intimate setting I felt.
