The event I attended was an anniversary celebration that you needed to purchase a ticket for. The fact that you could arrive between 3-9 p.m. stay as long as you wanted sipping on your wine or cocktail made it very special. The food was good and plentiful, the wine selection was outstanding. if they have another event like this I will definitely attend.

Pleasantly surprised by the selection and style of this restaurant. It's part of a hotel, so don't walk the extra distance looking for a street-level entrance like we did. Friendly staff and not a long wait for food and drinks, as well as tasty food selection. Would definitely recommend a light dinner with cocktails at this spot.
