Went there for a business dinner. Ambience is nice. Service is not that great. That day even they could not give menu for Drinks. I am not sure how a restaurant can say they dont have a menu for drinks. Only verbally few limited choices were told. Food was coming after a long time. Literally we had to call the server to take the order. So not a good experience. however food quality and quantity was good.
