                                                      Everything was great, excellent food, wonderful ambiance and very kind staff. I ordered by mistake something with tomato, and I’m allergic to, so they changed immediately the dish in a very friendly manner. The only thing ti improve: the restaurant was a little too cold

                                                      Very cozy and pleasant environment. Good diverse menu that can satisfy many palettes -- sort of a continental/french/italian fusion restaurant. Would please a foodie. Excellent service and wine advice and a fun playlist for an enjoyable evening. Seafood and steak specials were excellent, as were scallops, meatball sliders (though they tasted like a sausage/meatball hybrid), and chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back. Not a full bar but a beer/wine menu.
