    The food and service were both exceptional and everyone in our party of 4 agreed. The restaurant ambience was wonderful and quaint. Derek our head waiter was very professional and everyone provided us with excellent service always making sure all our needs were being taken care of. Looking forward to returning.

    The food and the service were both outstanding. There was live music played by clearly talented musicians. And of course the ambiance and decor were comfortable and beautiful.
