    Went during lunch and not very busy. The ambience is very good pleasant in a cozy dining environment. They have a nice menu. I enjoyed the chicken milanés from the lunch menu. It was very nicely seasoned served with creamy mashed potatoes. Service was good. Parking is not so great. No valet that I could see. Parked in the garage next door but cost around $13 for a two hour visit.

    I had a great lunch with my team from work, and we all appreciated the experience. The location was ideal, and the decor added a lovely touch to our meal. The service was prompt and attentive, which enhanced our overall enjoyment. Our food was well-prepared and served hot, contributing positively to the dining experience. Afterward, we enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate chip cookies, which was a delightful way to end our meal. I look forward to returning for dinner and experiencing the menu in a different setting!
