Excellent food and service, which is as it should be given the price. The restaurant is fairly small and lovely. Unfortunately there are so many staff members moving around the dining room ensuring that everything is perfect at every moment, that the overall vibe seemed noisy and frenetic, instead of peaceful and serene.
