Went on a date at the restaurant and we enjoyed the atmosphere with the Christmas Tree and lots of fairy lights. It was nice and beautifully decorated, food was good and friendship staff. We did wished the music was a little bit more noticeable and bit more jazz/smooth. But other than that, it was definitely a place to come back for that intimate feeling.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Only thing I’d note is that it is very loud, had to yell across the table which I don’t love but overall. Beautiful restaurant, great food, lovely staff.
