    Gave this place a second chance. It’s as cute as can be. HOWEVER Food was fair. Waiter was not attentive. Tea was bitter ( like old tea) Charged $3 for a little bit of sauce for fish. No patrons in there either time we went. Staff sitting around on phones. Would be festive if it were a popular place and if food improved! The waiter : we couldn’t hardly understand him or him,us , which wouldn’t matter except for miscommunications. Will not give it a third try.

    The restaurant itself is very elegant and date worthy. Our waiter was very professional and helpful with his recommendations. The drinks that we had were really good and balanced between taste and alcohol strength. However, the food did not match up to it's presentation.
