Overall it was a very good experience, we had reservations and were promptly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant was a highlight although the seating was quite cramped with tables right next to each other. The food was top-notch and flavorful, definitely do no skip out on the deserts!

My dad and I came here for lunch and we pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the restaurant is! The food was so yummy. For lunch the steak sandwich is AMAZING! The meat is so tender and it is very filling. The prosciutto and bruschetta lunch item was also very good but I would say go with the steak sandwich if you want something even more filling. We would definitely come again for the great food, service, and beautiful ambiance.
