Whether it's for business or a nice night out, the Berczy is ideal with its more laid back ambience in the bar/lounge and a bit more upscale feeling in the dining room. It's an elegant and beautiful space yet still feels cozy and welcoming. I'd attribute that to the excellent staff who are attentive (but not cloyingly so) and friendly. They remember guests' preferences, make solid recommendations and are always pleasant. No matter how busy the place gets, you never feel rushed. Needless to say, the food is the main reason to visit, and Chef Michael Angeloni and his team don't disappoint. The seasonal menu is exceptional - innovative but not inaccessible - fresh and flavourful. Their bartenders also make a great martini amongst other creative cocktails. There really is something for everyone at the Berczy.

We had a delicious lunch at Bocconcino. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and we enjoyed a long visit over our meal without feeling rushed. I think the tarte de nonna was my favourite dish.
