Met all our expectations in terms of special festive ambience! So gorgeous! Service was attentive and helpful, and our lunch wasn’t rushed in any way. Food was delicious but unfortunately not hot. We didn’t mind because our experience was wonderful overall. Treat yourself to this special restaurant and you won’t forget it.

This is an amazing restaurant… when we first walked in we thought it could be a little “stuffy” but we were so wrong … all the staff were amazing the service perfect and the food….. every dish was beautiful - even the bread… we would not stop talking about it. Start with the champagne and enjoy Now its to cheap but considering the quality of food and wine we were more then happy with the bill.
