    This is the second time our family dined here and again, it didn’t disappoint. While the meals are unique and delicious, it’s the staff that make it. Beautiful smiles that screams welcome, we appreciate you, your family are our family. It is this warmth that factored in the decision to come back. Don’t lose this, it will serve you well. My only request is that the wine list is a bit better quality. Im not a wine buff but I know enough to see that it needed a lift. Just a suggestion. The view to the street below gives it a feel of being amongst it. Love to people watch and it was great to just chill, drink, eat, and just enjoy.

    Very intimate setting, perfect ambiance and deliciously prepared food. We had a great time and the service was on point. They generously offered us a free birthday treat which made our night. Recommended!!

    Service was great but the food is overpriced and to expensive for the small amount that you receive.
