    The food was very good. My son had the salmon and I was worried that he wouldn’t like it because it might be dry. It’s also weird for a 13 year old to order salmon right? Anyway, he loved it. I was impressed. My wife ordered the pasta of the day or something like that. It had foie gras, truffle mixed in a cream sauce with duck. Crazy good. Burger was ok. Little over done. The place is pricey but the ambiance makes up for it. The wine cellar and bar look awesome.

    We had a wonderful experience, the only reason the food is not getting 5 stars is due to the cheesecake being a tad dry. We were 4 and were able to try the lamb shank and a few of their pastas, all of it wwere delicious! The cocktails as well as the mocktails are absolutely worth it and refreshing. The ambiance is calm and lovely alllowing for the guest to have a classic dinnner.
