                                                        Amazing service and food!! On the pricy side, but that was expected going in. However, you get what you pay for! The ambiance was very romantic. I had the Duck Breast and the chef recommended med-rare. I was hesitant but went with the recommendation. I’m sure glad I did! It was tender, succulent, and all around exquisite! We will return!

                                                        Refined & beautiful restaurant. Both the service and the food were excellent. I had the duck and recommend it without reservation (but you should make a reservation to eat here). The cost is pretty high, but in line with what you receive.
