Go for the pizza! We went for Valentine's Day and had such a lovely time! Forever we ordered a $45 lobster pasta cacherri. It had 10 tube's of pasta and maybe 2 ounces of lobster. It was pretty Blanc and quite frankly, a rip off. It was also the only bad thing we had so we were still pretty pleased.

We had the set Valentine's menu for two and it was very nice. Service was great and not rushed at all. It is part of a hotel. There was a bit of a cold fraught from the door into the hotel unfortunately.
