Enjoyed a lovely lunch catching up with a friend. Our start time was 1:30 PM so lunch was in full swing and it was a bit noisy until some patrons finished their meal and departed. we were very leisurely about ordering in the server was patient without rushing us. We stayed until 4:30 PM.

The food here was incredible. Everything melted in your mouth and I think most carnivores wouldn’t miss meat one bit. The service was wonderful, the wine list was great and we couldn’t complain about a thing!

The food here is excellent, and the servers are very attentive. It was particularly loud during our visit as there was a large group of teenage girls having a party beside us. The all-you-can-eat is a bit pricey, but it’s a treat to try new dishes that would be difficult to replicate at home.
