    First time here and will definitely go again. From the moment we walked in the door till we left, service was wonderful. Stella, the sommelier was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us find a great wine to go along with our dinner. Food was as great as the service, From the Bread and spreads to the spicy ice cream tasting we had for dessert and everything in between.

    The food was amazing - because of the creative approach to cooking, the menu was full of delicious culinary choices. Our meal was flavorful and delicious. However, the service was lacking. After are order was taken we never saw our waiter until the bill was presented. We had several requests - more water, another cocktail and our bill - and each of these requests we had to stop another waitstaff member to get these for us. We will try again, and hopefully the service will improve.

    A great spot for brunch. Food was very good. Tables are a bit close and the noise level is high, but that is unfortunately the norm these days. Highly recommended for brunch.
