    Great service! The restaurant was quiet as we were there early and took advantage of their Happy Hour which in retrospect was a very good idea/deal. Their small plates are in fact quite large, and we did not even have room for main course as we wanted to save room for dessert. The cocktails were great too. We will go again.

    We had a selection of cocktails, all were interesting. The High Tea was particularly interesting as it came served in a classic tea cup you'd find in your Grandmother's china hutch. We also ordered a charcuterie board that was quite delectable. For our mains, two of us had pasta dishes and I had the Wagu beef burger. All of us were incredibly pleased with our choices.

    Went for happy hour and it we tried a lot of the small plates - we loved the burrata salad, oysters and fondue! Food is excellent. Don’t skip the chocolate fondue it was so good and huge!
