The ambiance and the service were great. However, we felt like the food could have been more savory for a restaurant of its rank.

The staff demonstrated good knowledge of the food prepared when they introduced the dish as it was served. They were also very prompt in attending to me when requested.

Restaurant is cute with lovely interior. Food was good and nicely represented. Main course was rather small. Service was attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the drinks and dishes came too fast. Price was ok but I guess I wouldn’t come back. Didn’t like that they played music into the restaurant.
