    The place is lovely and the service was thoughtful and friendly. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the quality of the food. The sandwiches were served still cold from the fridge and the bread was stale. We did the 70 dollar menu and we got an appetizer the size of a tea cup. We were disappointed with the experience even though it was a cool concept. Considering the price, we expected a much higher quality.
