Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

Today’s lunch experience was great. The food and drinks were all great and arrived promptly. We went early, so it wasn’t too crowded for a while, which made the noise level really manageable.
