Sunday brunch - raw bar - exquisite! Many food choices for all palates from eggs and bacon to chicken and pasta were all excellent. The only disappointment to be mentioned is - although the brunch included a mimosa or Bellini, and coffee one if my guests ordered a Virgin Mary instead for which I was charged an additional $5. Not the worst thing that can happen but seems a bit unfair. So just a caution.

Came here with a few former colleagues for lunch. As usual, the service & food were superb. The chicken picatta melted in my mouth. So full of flavor. The entire experience is unlike any other. Can’t wait to visit again.
