    The food was amazing - because of the creative approach to cooking, the menu was full of delicious culinary choices. Our meal was flavorful and delicious. However, the service was lacking. After are order was taken we never saw our waiter until the bill was presented. We had several requests - more water, another cocktail and our bill - and each of these requests we had to stop another waitstaff member to get these for us. We will try again, and hopefully the service will improve.

    This was my third visit in recent months. I think the food, service and ambiance were great. Price, a little high but nowadays all restaurants are the same. The only thing I couldn’t understand was the size and the design of the printed menu. It is confusing. They better redesign it and make it more user friendly.
