    The food was exceptional and the atmosphere beautiful. The server was very polite and the meal was well timed. However, our drinks were not refilled at all. Again the food and overall service was great, I was just a very surprised that our water and tea glasses were largely ignored when everything else was so nicely attended to.

    Nice ambience and service. Over priced for what they give you. Their steak was more like a kabob. Not well cooked either. Steak was too hard and dry even though I ordered medium.
