    The hostess was kind of rude. She was pretty snarking in telling us that we cannot be seated until the full party arrived

    Really excellent food with large portions. It was served quickly but not too quickly and didn’t have to wait for the check. It is loud and the tables are tight. I prefer to sit outside during the summer but no choice during winter.

    The service was very friendly and efficient. The space was comfortable and well lit. The food was delicious but very limited choices. The menu needs to be expanded. The desserts sounded good. We ordered the chocolate mousse with hazelnut. It was good but didn’t warrant the cost. Seemed extravagant for what it was. We would only return if there were more menu options available.
