    lovely atmosphere. very creative and very delicious cocktail menu. lovely wines. wonderful meal. at the beginning the service was very slow and unresponsive, but as the meal progressed the service staff were attentive and helpful. but we were bothered by fruit flies which was distracting and "icky". plz take care of that.

    The service was very good. Unfortunately the restaurant food quality is not at par with the price. The steak was tasteless and the meat wasn’t of excellent quality for 46 dollar steak & eggs
