The host who greeted us remembered my son and I from months back and I was amazed. He also came by the table several time to just check in. This made a tremendous impression on my son and I. The quality of the food and portions were perfect.

Good food - not worth the price. Service is weird with almost no personality?? Left us sitting for almost 20 minutes when we first sat down and the restaurant was half full. Had to ask for water, drinks. Had to ask for wine like 3 times. Waiter had to write down the order as we went. It was all kind of weird!
