    Beautiful restaurant with amazing food. Quite noisy and quite expensive for the amount of food. Wine list very overpriced. Great for a special occasion.

    My main criticism is that the wine list now has only one Chardonnay on it when it used to have a few others. It is surprising that a “Lettuce” restaurant would not offer more options.
