    The service and the food were outstanding. My only critique was that it was very hot inside. It made it hard to enjoy the meal with how warm it was.

    Go for the cocktails and see the church. They know they have an awesome location and good drinks so the effort is definitely lost on the food. Hate to say it but very overrated and seemed like a tourist trap. Beautiful restaurant, not beautiful food.

    Uneventful. Service was slow and food was ok. We will not be returning. Too many other good options in the city.

    They need more options for starters, including more salads. Also I would appreciate more vegetarian options for the money, it is quite expensive. There’s no need for ravioli to be $28. Nice atmosphere but tables are very close together.
