Went there for anniversary meal and was not disappointed. Amazing tasty food in a beautiful location. Menu is large with plenty to choose from and all top quality. Only selling high end wine so other options should be available to purchase so was only able to purchase a glass. Very calm and helpful staff and will definitely return. Only issue was the small tables were too close together which makes intimate dinner awkward.
