When you enter you feel a warm atmosphere that combines the old & the new. One waiter got upset very loudly at other waiters & it happened a couple of times, it distracted us from the quiet & comfortable setting.
The menu is pretty diverse. We had a great waiter. We ordered the filet mignon & osso bucco. The filet mignon was not properly cooked. The waiter promptly offered complimentary wine glasses; a nice gesture. The drinks were nice. The desserts were a bit disappointing the cheese cake was very fluffy & had no density. The molten chocolate cake was not what you usually expect it was more of a mousse.
