Delish! We ate outside on the patio. Lovely and plenty of area heaters so we were not chilly at all. Come here! Get the garden omelette!

It was our first time and I was hoping for a better experience but unfortunately it was cold night and they sat us outside which was cute and cozy but 1-the chairs are metal and no seat cover for a those cold nights 2- they don’t have enough heaters or even any blankets 3- by the time the food got to table it was cold 4- drink was too watered down 5- food tasted great and the service was also great but price was way too high compared to the quality and the amount of food we got We enjoyed it but won’t go back Thanks

Came for a Birthday dinner, service was not good, they forgot the birthday girls drink twice. Appetizer was cold and undercooked, got it back when we were done with dinner. Got the drink when we asked for the check. What was suppose to be a special dinner for my daughter turned out to be a huge disappointment. They made no effort in making it special

Overpriced for underwhelming chicken with vegetables so hard you couldn’t even cut them. It was extremely disappointing. Left hungry after a nearly $200 meal for 2 with tip.
