I'm so glad I found this beautiful little restaurant for my girl friend's birthday dinner. So quaint and romantic and the food was excellent. The staff is young and inexperienced and we had a few frustrating moments due to lack of basic etiquette but all were well intentioned. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit here.
