Everything was wonderful, from the ambiance to the service. However, the only downside was the portion size of the Valentine's special, which didn’t quite meet expectations.

The mussels and prawns were very nice but when food became empty they didn't refill them so I missed out on a lot of food and I got there at 7 16. Still worth $47 the mussels alone was worth it and they people clearing the tables were lovely and come over offen
