                                                        We had the pleasure of having a Chanukah/Christmas lunch here and it was amazing. The meal was superb with moments of perfection; but the best part was the service. We were hosted by Sarah who made the entire experience truly exceptional. We have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants around the globe, and the service from Sarah was on par with the finest places we’ve been. Our highlights were the cheese plate, the mushroom risotto, and the pineapple polenta cake (so good), but the meal would not have been half as good without the service. Thanks for a wonderful time!

                                                        Food not worth the price IMO. Little overpriced. Brought check early and added an extra water to the bill and they made a fuss when I wanted a receipt of the refund because they had to charge me twice.
