"Really enjoyed ourselves in selecting and tasting the various wines. Could pick a flight or make up one of our own which we did both. Food was delicious. Lost a little appeal when the sever forgot one of the wine flights and waited a few minutes for the flight to arrive in order to have with the meal. A contributing factor was that this did occur during a time we were changing and placing new wine orders. Otherwise it was great and we will not hesitate to bring guests in the future. Good menu for foodies. For a special occasion, chack with them to seee what is available. I did not recommend for Romantic but I am sure they can arrange for a more private area for something more intimate."
