    Once again the food and service were amazing My friend was running very late for our meal… no problem with this restaurant. They continued to make sure I was looked after until she arrived. Loved every part of my dining, the wine, entree, main course and dessert were perfect. Thank you! Merry Christmas!!

    The food was delicious but the portions were extremely small for the price. I thought I had the entree. No sides, no bread no salad just a few squares of ravioli for $48.

    Entrees were very small portions not worth the price. Steak was overcooked although the chef offered to recook. Not worth the value.
