Good venue for a business meeting, with the right balance of atmosphere and not to noisy that you can't talk or to quiet to be overheard. High quality food & drink and variety of options for most/all tastes!

Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.
