Nice experience in a beautiful setting. Isaac was a great, attentive and witty server. FYI: "house bubbles" is prosecco, not champagne.

Exceptional service, I loved that they had recognized my anniversary and set the table with a card wishing us a happy anniversary as well with the glass of champagne and the boxes of chocolates. That was so nice of them to do and our waiter was just amazing with great recommendations on wine and food.
