Fabulous interior, super friendly service. Filet was under cooked for both of us (and the table next to us we saw) but overall wonderful gem

The food is excellent. One of the best I've ever tried. The chef personally went to our table to explain to us how he prepared our diner. Excellent service.

This was a nice option to celebrate Father’s Day; the restaurant wasn’t busy at all when we arrived and we almost had the patio all to ourselves. The food was very good and was ready quickly. The service was a bit shaky at first; our table wasn’t ready upon our arrival which was strange as we had a reservation and the restaurant was almost empty; it was as if they weren’t expecting us. But once we were seated and after a bit of a spill of my latte at the table, the service got better and we were delighted by a surprise visit by the executive chef who came to see how we were enjoying the meal. That was a very nice touch. Overall good food and a pretty atmosphere.

Birthday dinner. We had a leisurely meal and were never once rushed. Our first cocktails took awhile to be delivered but after that, everything was just as we could have wanted.
