Very beautiful inside, good service, great drinks, and a lot of variety. Also very clean and great for dates. The food itself isn’t the most impressive when it comes to taste. But that does not mean its bad in any way.

Food was great when it was a regular menu item. Restaurant week items were very poorly done Risotto was uncooked and the chocolate mousse was gritty. Service was inattentive.

Excellent lunch menu for restaurant week. The lasagna was outstanding, as was the panna cotta dessert. The presentation of the dishes was appealing. Service and the waiters were outstanding – friendly, and well timed. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable on a rainy afternoon.
