First time at this restaurant in the Brentwood market. The food was quite good, the service friendly if a bit slow, the ambience OK. The noise level was tolerable, mostly… The prices are unreasonable for what is offered, however; $200 for a couple, one glass of wine each, shared appetizer, one course each, plus shared desert. Had we chosen more expensive items from the menu, it could have been much higher.
