Such a wonderful dinner. I had the price fixed Italian meal. The gnocchi was divine. The service was on point and the dessert was divine! Espresso coffee poured into the center of fresh ice cream that was in a glass coated with delicious and creamy, cool chocolate, coated with nuts. I’m going to dream about it.

The food and service were amazing. You definitely get what you pay for. We really enjoyed the scallop appetizer, chicken karaage appetizer, filet, and Noja potatoes. The brussel sprouts were wonderful as well. The flourless chocolate torte for dessert was divine.
