The location is cozy, relax and elegant, a perfect place taking your love one to, but not recommend little kid. The food is not bad but nothing to write home about, then again it’s good enough to enjoy the overall experience. Service is friendly, as good as you would expect that won’t ruin your date. Bar is passing grade, don’t expect too much of their cocktail. Overall, I really enjoy the place and do recommend to mature guests.
