    The amount of food was served was for babies, the food was horrible no taste at all. Never again will I attend this restaurant. However the waiter and the hostess was great. The manager was very rude and not pleasant when we asked to see him he stood right there and offered something else to eat and refuse to come to our table. Horrible

    The food was delicious and service was good. There was a horrible smell in the restaurant and the power went out while we were eating so it was hot and funky. A horrible combination especially when eating.

    Indeed, a beautiful oasis of serenity and style. Varied and creative menu and outstanding service. Barbara, the owner, has used her magic wand to make this spot very special.

    This is an over Hyped place and very pricey The fact that i had a birthday reservation for 12/10 and got to the restaurant and it was closed. Got back there on 12/12 and was not even offered a free water. I would NOT return and i would definitely not encourage my people too.

    Fun upscale atmosphere. Drinks were great. Dinner yummy. Sadly profiteroles were lacking the chocolate sauce promised. It had a lot of Carmel but barely any chocolate. We never saw the waiter till we tracked him down for the bill long after our desert was delivered by someone else. Overall we would definitely return.
