La nourriture était excellente & le serveur James a donné un service exceptionnel. Définitivement, je retournerais à ce restaurant uniquement pour être servi par James & son sourire.

Les pâtes étaient délicieuses, mais c'est tout ! Les tables étaient sales. Il a fallu attendre 30 minutes pour l'entrée, puis encore 30 minutes pour le plat principal. C'était crasseux partout !

We had our wedding lunch here, & it was a wonderful experience. Our lunch was held in the courtyard, & the ambiance was absolutely amazing. The courtyard is beautiful, with lots of flowers that created the perfect setting for our celebration. The setup was nice, the food was very good, & the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, & cooperative. They made everything so easy & stress-free for us. Thank you for helping make our special day so memorable. We highly recommend this place!
