    What an incredible experience. From the moment I booked online, until I left. I can’t fault the restaurant, the staff were courteous, very attentive and accommodating. The food was tasty, different and delicious. The ambiance was soft sweet and had a good vibe. Sitting out doors, was cosy!!! Yep directly under a heater! The decor, tables, chairs was very old style yet fashionable and very delicate.. it’s a must..the price is quite reasonable.

    Enjoyed the visit overall - staff were lovely and attentive, the food was delicious but a little bit slow between starters and the bigger dishes. Ambiance was great. Only note is that the wines were quite expensive - the cheapest glass was $20 and would have appreciated more of a range in terms of cost. I find that most places will offer glasses at varying cost between $16-$24
