We went to celebrate a birthday and I loved the ambiance. Our server was very attentive but as more people came in our food order took a little longer than expected. The food was good large portions couldn’t eat it all. I appreciated the free dessert for the birthday girl. We enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

The attentiveness of the service here was beyond excellent, not once were we left looking for staff, from water refill to management stopping by to check on our satisfaction. Our server Simona was a Joy from the moment we sat down. She was very engaging as well as helpful in making the perfect menu selections. The food was Fantastic, full of flavor, and artfully prepared with incredible freshness. The decor and ambiance was extremely tasteful and simply elegant. A dining experience that should not be missed!!!!!
