The restaurant was exceptionally busy but we were taken to our table shortly after arrival for our reservation. The waitstaff were friendly and service was good. Food was above expectation, except for the chocolate dresser which tasted like lumps of sugar. Definitely will go back.

The venue is very nice and is perfect for a small gathering. The food is delicious, my only knock is that the lunchtime food menu/offering is a bit limited.
