Lovely restaurant! Food, ambience, and service were outstanding! Might just note that the menu is somewhat limited, and the two desserts ordered were not exceptional.

This is an excellent choice for a special event, or if you are feeling like indulging in a fancy cocktail! The velvet chairs and gold hardware is such a vibe. Food is great, everything is very well done and ingredients are excellent. The cocktails are pricey but they are good and served artfully in fabulous glassware. Highly recommend for a small group of people, it is not a large space. Service is wonderful.

Impeccable service. Welcoming staff and atmosphere. Brilliant sauces. The house-made bread is wonderful, as is the baked squash dish. Desserts are divine (the custard and ice cream -wow!). Portions might be a tad bigger, but were delicious (lamb skewer and baked cod). I wish I didn't have to speak without raising my voice (perhaps a bit of sound abatement would help?). All in all, a lovely dining experience.
