    It was a very last minute reservation but a lovely experience. The space is really nice, not too loud. The tables felt a little close to each other but overall it felt clean and cozy. The food was really good - the bread the bring to the table is so good. My cocktail was also tasty - a lavender something. A nice little spot!

    Such a pleasurable meal. The fish was delicious and well-prepared (ok, the brussel sprouts were overcooked, but otherwise the food was quite good); the service was remarkably attentive. I hadn’t been here for a few years and was pleased that everything was as good as I had remembered it.
