Food was good but not great. I don’t like sitting in the front section of the restaurant near the front door since it takes away from the ambiance and experience of the restaurant.

This was my first time there and I was highly impressed. Mushroom appetizer was on point. Salmon perfectly cooked and the final bite of chocolate mousse was exquisite! Can’t wait to go back.
