    The restaurant is beautiful. The decore is unbelievable. You can’t stop looking around. The food is pricy but not really good. Pasta was chewy. They charge for bread and water but they don’t tell you, there is a charge. The dessert was excellent. We really enjoyed that part. Service is excellent. You have two people constantly giving you service. All together the experience was good. If you haven’t been there go and see it but once is enough.
