Delicious! If you make a reservation in the winter, request a corner table because we got sat right by the door and it was freezing. But other than that it was so good. Very incredible food and service.

Service was outstanding. Food was excellent. Warm for winter but may be hot for summer given lack of adequate ventilation.

Great food but the waiters were in such a rush to take away our dishes and to make us pay the bill. We wanted to enjoy our conversation too with the nice meal.
