    Didn’t know there are different themes and it was a fun surprise! Our theme was Alfred Hitchcock movies and loved the explanation of how the dish was inspired by a movie. Everything was delicious and the stuff was wonderful. My husband and I went for our anniversary and received a cute little card and it really made us feel special.

    Food presentation was excellent. Main/Savory coarse was light. Meal over emphasizes on bites. Menu is overpriced for what you get IMO. Lovely environment + staff however!
