The space was dated, with dusty chachki's all around our table. The Steak Florentine was undercooked, the potato side dish was uninspired and the cheesecake was inedible. Big tab, save your money, go elsewhere!

Beautiful spot but the service was HORRIBLE. Also, food was essentially polished up airplane food. Go somewhere else, be treated better, and eat something that actually tastes like food.

Our meal was fantastic from start to finish!!! Each dish was packed with flavor and the presentation was superb. The entire wait staff were engaged passionate and precise even to the smallest detail. Tagliatelle porcini,risotto with red shrimp, rack of lamb,classic tiramisu were a few of our highlights. A great place to end a European trip on a high note!! We will definitely visit again….
