    We were surprised upon arrival that we were seated outdoors. Luckily we happened to have coats in the car because it was chilly and they did light a heater. The service was definitely not warm. Perhaps the waiter was new. The food was very good and ambience was lovely.

    It's a bit pricy for the type of food served. Portions are fair. Service is good. The wine & drink price list is reasonable. Decoration and ambiance are very nice. Good location. It is a place to return and have a nice dinner, either romantic, family or friends.

    Excellent service, good, and ambiance! The appetizers are fantastic, and the main dishes all sounded so exquisite that it was hard to make just one choice.

    Overall it was a good experience! The bread they brought to the table was old and stale. And we had to wait for silverware when our meals came! They were busy!
