A very relaxing atmosphere & the service provided for all us, was excellent. Food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I was really upset that they charged us $6+ each, party of 5, for the dessert that we brought & were served. Note, that they never disclosed that there would be a charge, so be vigilant.
Sad to say, it was our first & last time.

Excellent repas. Le service était impeccable. Le vin succulent. Le pain & l'huile d'olive vierges parfaits. La salade de fenouil en endives un vrai délice ! Le risotto aux champignons honnêtement le meilleur que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Le dessert aux pistaches était également très gourmand. Chapeau au chef & à toute l'équipe !

Nous avons celebré un anniversaire ce soir. Quel magnifique soirée! Excellent service, de l'entrée au dessert tout était succulent. Nous avons adoré les artichauts frits, ravioli au truffe, spritz au limoncello, ….
Goût rafiné, délicat & sublime!
Une magnifique première expérience à ce restaurant, nous y retournerons assurément.
