                                          I am going to this restaurant since 2009 every birthday. It’s the best. I love everything about it. The little details. The staff, the atmosphere and mostly the food. For a special occasion you will never be disappointed. If you want to impress someone this is the place .

                                          The excellent service started right at the door and continued throughout the whole dinner. The food was good, but a small minus for very limited vegetarian options - which did not raise to the level of the “normal” dishes. The wine selection was excellent - also the ones sold by glass. The ambience was a bit too noisy for my liking - and the music that was played unfortunately contributed to that.

A couple of glasses of house Chardonnay rounded things out nicely. If a full linen service is something you appreciate, that is just another good reason to go. Would love to do it again!
