What a stealth surpise. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten it. The food is simple but incredibly tasty and well prepared. The service is amazing. For me this is a restaurant of superlatives. It was pretty empty at lunch and open all day. I liked it so much I went two days in a row so I could try different things on the menu. Highly recommended

From the start to the end, the service and attention to detail was outstanding. Then comes the food, which was sensational. We were intrigued about the PW Corn/Corn/Corn (not a typo) and decided to order it......all I can say is, wow! This alone is a 5+ star dish and was simply divine. A wonderful experience overall, highly recommended and will most certainly return soon.
