The food was fantastic: the Fresh Carrot Cavatelli Pasta was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten and the freshly made Warm Chocolate Chunk Cookies were delicious. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow: it took over 20 minutes after we were seated before anyone returned to take our order and the restaurant was not especially busy, nor did it appear understaffed. Once we ordered everything at once, our drinks and every course took far longer than should be necessary, particularly given that all our starters were cold dishes: guacamole does not take >20 minutes to prepare, for example. The poor service, albeit friendly, left us all reluctant to return.

I dined with four friends on the serene patio. The food was great. I had a salad, my friends had sandwiches. It was delightful and very, very peaceful. A hidden gem.

A really special evening out, in one of the loveliest settings in town. We were lucky to have Desie and Abby as our servers, who were friendly and knowledgeable. The ribeye was fantastic!

We had a great time! We got a last minute reservation for 2 to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. As others have mentioned the space is magical. Abby and Desie our servers were friendly, helpful and didn’t rush us at all. The food was very good and resonably priced for having Michelin distinction. Minors under 21 are not allowed. We have 3 kids who are reasonably well behaved but given how intimate the setting was I would not have wanted to bring them anyway.

Fantastic atmosphere and solid service. Was expecting more from the food based on the Michelin affiliation. Unfortunately the chicken mole as a main course was too basic for my own taste and the green salad had too much fish sauce to my liking. The John Dory was very flavorful and the sauce with zucchini and corn had a nice citrus touch.

Lovely ambiance and good leisurely service. The servers were very gracious and accommodating and we had a lovely long dinner enjoying cocktails and time between courses so we didn't feel stuffed when we left. The food was solidly good but not amazing. My chicken was slightly over cooked and dry but the flavors of the sauce were good. The salads were very very nice. Overall I recommend.

This place has a really nice vibe to it and the menu is enough unusual to be very enjoyable. The setting is beautiful to go along with some really great food.
