Such a delicious meal. The servers were friendly and put up with me and my group who were probably a bit loud and a little tipsy. We really enjoyed ourselves. Next time we’ll keep it classy.

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the food and drinks are superb, so is the view and so is service (for the most part). I almost always order from the special or seasonal menu, and this time was no exception. Winter salad, scallops, special drink and espresso. The ingredients are simple but masterfully prepared. Sometimes difficult to get a reservation, so worth planning ahead. Highly recommend.
