    From the moment we arrived, the dining experience was excellent. We were warmly welcomed and offered a choice of tables, setting the tone for a relaxed and thoughtful service. The staff were incredibly attentive—offering great recommendations and helpful guidance on how best to enjoy the dishes, including wait times. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly the result of a well-crafted menu. We shared the ribeye along with the wedges, and it was more than enough for two, especially when paired with a couple of small plates. A special shout-out to Arthur, who made our visit even more enjoyable. He checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed and added a friendly touch with his conversation throughout the meal. We’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
