We were stuck in traffic and quite late for our reservation, but the restaurant staff went out of their way to help us shake off the frustrating commute by allowing us to keep our table. Better yet, we enjoyed a lovely pre-theater meal before heading over to the Dominion Theater to see The Devil Wears Prada. The food and service was perfect.

Loved this place - very fair prices, good portions, and very friendly service! Only marked down slightly as the interior is a bit bland, not much ambience. Could do with dimming the lights a bit and adding a few more touches on the decorating. But that’s my view - totally subjective. I’ll be back! Also…the best home made tiramisu I’ve EVER eaten. And my five friends also agreed!
