When we arrived we were escorted to our table quickly. We ordered starters and mains with accompanying wines. Starters arrived quickly but without the wine. When they cleared the table I was able to mention that, but they did not really acted on that. Then it took 90 minutes and we still had to get the main course! I went to ask about it, they said it was ready and they would bring it, but it still took another 15 minutes. They did apologize and offered a free glass of wine. After we finished the main course we asked for the bill. The wine that i had ordered for the starter, but never got, was on the bill! When I asked about it, they didn’t even have to check. They knew immediately because they put it on even when they knew they did not serve me that wine and took it right off that bill. So, long story short: food was good, but don’t go there on a busy Saturday night!

Lovely diner on the terrace with a great ambiance. It was really busy so the waiting time was a bit longer, but no problem at all! The food was excellent. Sadly no choice of desserts for pregnant women (all with alcohol or raw eggs).

After being ignored for five minutes with a reservation, we waited 10 minutes to be seated, only for us to stand in a crammed area, waiting for our waiter to clean the table. After the table was “cleaned”, we were surrounded by flies, dead plants and a moldy umbrella. After waiting for 35 minutes more to order drinks and no attempt from the waiters to look in our direction, we decided to leave. What makes it even worse is; I mentioned this was for a birthday and were asked to accommodate for this. Horrible experience overall.

Absolutely not coming back. I ordered wine pairing and was particularly delighted by the last bottle. When I politely asked for the name of the wine maker, the server replied condescendingly, "Oh, it is Valpolicella Ripasso." I explained that I knew the type of wine and was asking for the wine maker's name. She just repeated "Valpolicella Ripasso" and shrugged. After a third attempt to clarify my question, she repeated the same response and walked away. It felt dismissive, either due to a language barrier or because I’m Asian. To make matters worse, when my husband and I left the restaurant, we overheard the staff whispering "Valpolicella Ripasso" behind our backs, as if mocking us. Totally unacceptable.

The service was almost ignorant and unfriendly. The quality of the food was average. Unfortunately, our expectations of a restaurant that calls itself fine dining were not met. The ambience is commendable.

Nice food as always. But bummer was that one of our wine glasses was chipped and when we mentioned that the waitress poured the wine from the chipped glass to an unchipped glass in front of our eyes.. :-/ what if there was broken glass swimming in the wine?

What a very beautiful spot for a lovely dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful, and everyone works together as a team. Everyone brings their personality to the table, and you're treated as a guest, not just a customer. The food was excellent - the burrata salad was so very fresh and sweet, and the baked salmon was artfully and deliciously prepared. "Interestingly delicious" is how my husband described his entreé. Thanks for the enjoyable meal. We hope to return.
