Food was outstanding and far more than one could eat. Service was perfectly attentive - not hovering but there every time you needed them. It was a bit crowded. And finding a parking space was an adventure and expensive but other than that a magical experience.

Nice spot, ambiance and music. Service was really good. Food was ok. Steak overcooked, fish had no side at all. Half-priced wine on Wednesday night drew us in!
