HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED Everthing about it was highly disappointing including very basic food with poor service. I can’t believe I spent $200 for two for food that you could get in a very basic corner restaurant. Don’t go there

Visited the first time and was purely satisfied. From service to food everything was perfect. We had the mushroom toast, teriyaki eggplant and the gnocchi. Each dish was delicious and good portions. The one thing I absolutely liked was they make everything in house even the sourdough. We’ll be coming back surely.

Been here twice this month and the reason was the CORNISH HEN. We had it the last time we were here and I couldn't resist having it again. Service was perfect like always, cheesecake was delicious and all the other things we ordered were super tasty. Special mention to the bartender for the cocktails, we tried 3 cocktails and all were so good. We will be back again surely, hopefully very soon.

My visit was for a business lunch meeting. The food was good; the server was rude. After our meal, she did not even ask if we wanted something else. Instead, she just brought the bill. The interaction with her had been off since I arrived when I asked for a table by the window rather than the one she sat me on at the back of the restaurant. Not sure if I will be back again
