Enjoyed a nice meal with my friend. More expensive than I expected but the food was delicious and beautiful. Great service too. Not too noisy as the place wasn’t full. But it is one of these anti-soft furnishings/tablecloths places that seems to be the norm nowadays. People- fabric absorbs sound!

Went for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. Didn’t feel like the skimped out on portions cause it was a prix fixe menu. Probably one of the better meals I’ve had in my life. We did wine pairings too, it was awesome. Highly recommend.
