The place is nice and well decorated however the service was ok and the food was not great at all. We left that restaurant and actually went to a different location to eat. The crudo was very fishy not eatable and the breakfast was bland. Would not come back unfortunately

The restaurant was so cold inside that I couldn’t even take off my jacket. I had to eat my dinner while still wearing it. The temperature needs to be adjusted for comfort. Additionally, the prices are quite high.

Horrific service. Expect to wait an hour over your reservation time. Ambiance is pretty but definitely not worth your time. Front desk staff is obnoxious and rude. The staff does not care. Horrible, obnoxious place and staff.
