    WOW! Randomly booked this place as it was near our hotel. We had our toddler so was a bit wary given it was a wine bar. They were very accommodating (she loved her butter noodles!). My husband and I absolutely LOVED the food. It was unique and delicious. I am so happy we chose this spot. Would 100% return.

    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.
