    This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! It felt fancy without feeling stiff , the staff was totally attentive and accommodating, and the food was excellent! My dad salts nearly everything , so for him to have asked for salt but then said he didn’t need it, means a lot, haha. It was perfectly seasoned , which my chef of a husband also agreed with, plated very nicely, and the portions were just right. I do wish there were more mocktail options, and we were pretty overwhelmed by the prices in general, but especially for the beverages. But overall, for a fancier dining experience, this is the spot! I was also treated to a complimentary (very delicious!) dessert for my birthday. A beautiful touch!

    Food was interesting and delicious. We were delighted by all the dishes, even if we didn't love every component. Service was attentive but a bit "cold" though this was not an issue. Overall, a delightful meal. Would highly recommend a visit.

    We met friends, shared some small plates and had mains as well. All the dishes were delicious, with high quality ingredients (and we’re foodies who know how to cook)! We loved that it was quiet enough to converse. It is attached to a hotel in a somewhat off-the beaten path location but it’s worth a visit (and open on days when many restaurants are closed, like Mondays). The ambiance is very nice inside. A hidden gem!
