    My husband and I take a late diner, after the opera. They have a late diner menu with enough choice to satisfy anyone. We took a Cesar salad. Nice plate, good taste, fresh ingredients.

    All dishes were absolutely beautifully presented, tasted phenomenal, portioned appropriately from starters to desserts. Drinks were delicious. Great atmosphere and Michael was attentive. The only downside was the water service. My suggestion is to either have a back waiter or server assistant. Great evening out.

    The food was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend this restaurant. The one downfall was the service. Our waiter was difficult to hear. The worst part was that he took my girlfriend’s plate from her while she was still eating and made us feel very rushed. That was highly disappointing as she was really enjoying her meal.
