Great service, cocktails, and beautiful space. The royal soufflé is a creamy delight but I’d skip the chicken milanese. Pet peeve: we weren’t offered an option for regular tap water?? Overall, an exquisite experience.

Great customer service. The steak was a bit cold. The appetizers had some sauces we really did not like (asparagus/mushrooms), the skinny fries were awesome. The most delicious part was the bread basket! Warm and crunchy... The service is great, very attentive and polite. We had a good time. Would recommend if you want to splurge, but you can have great steak in another place for a better price. I did not think their steak was super special for that price.
