We came for dinner and we had a beautiful night from start to finish. Quiet elegance mixed with understated chique foodie atmosphere. We sat in the garden and that was the best way to do it. Magical with lights and cozy atmosphere. Waiter was professional and welcoming. The calamari and bolognese pasta were divine.

The food was amazing, we shared the burger, greek salad and the caramelized pear and truffle pizza which was to die for. The deserts, we had the tiramisu and the pistachio bliss, Amazing!! The drinks were alright, they could have been a little stronger for my taste. Our server was very attentive and gave us great recommendations.
