En plus des plats délicieux de ce restaurant, ce qui m'a particulièrement charmé, c'est qu'une dame sur place choisissait des morceaux de musique & les diffusait sur un gramophone, ce qui rendait notre expérience encore plus spéciale.

I took a girl here for our first date, & it couldn't have gone better. The ambiance is intimate & cozy, with dim lighting, candles, & a record player in the background. The food was incredible & the service genuinely helped the warm. Highly recommend.
