Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating.

Went for my partner’s mother’s birthday dinner and had a great experience. Our server was very attentive and coursed everything perfectly, he had great wine knowledge and food recommendations. I ordered the blacken Chilean Sea Bass special (they also have sea bass on their regular menu) and highly recommend it, all components of the dish were cooked to perfection. I also would recommend the lamb meatball appetizer. I tried a bite of the beef stroganoff and it was rich, creamy and delightful. We had the lemon blueberry olive oil cake for desert and it was perfect, not overly sweet. We had a great experience and will definitely be going back.
