    We dined on a quiet Sunday night which was a lovey way to enjoy the beauty of the room. Unfortunately it felt like the A team took the night off. The Server was polite but not present, greeted us with the specials list as soon as we sat down without taking a drink order. The food was fine, not special, and it was not easy to get the servers attention. Even paying the check was a challenge. Eventually the manager came over to take care of it.

    Wonderful, charning ambience and the staff was extremely attentive and courteous. The burrata, Spanish octopus and branzino were fantastic!

    The setting is beautiful and the service was truly terrific. However, the food was mediocre for both me and my guest-- and very expensive given the quality.

    Yummy food and great cocktails. Everything we tasted was good. Service was excellent. It was a bit weird two things were out already even though it was just 6pm. Prices kinda steep but the vibe was excellent so I’m just glad my company paid 😅 will return with the in-laws, who I’m sure will be impressed.

    Nice room, but there was a problem with the heating when we came. The place was almost empty and so it was dull. The food was just OK .

    Lacked a vibe. The bar area was more interesting. No heat? Food was standard. Again, the servers were the saving grace.
