We met a friend here for dinner at 5 pm as online it said they open at 5 pm but when we got there apparently the bar area was full because it was open since 4 pm. So we sat in the dining room which you can only order from the full menu. A little on the expensive side but absolutely delicious. I had the sea bass, my husband had the duck, and our friend had the salmon. The service was excellent.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating birthdays with friends. Service was spot on. My only complaint was two of our meals were lukewarm at best and our server didn't hesitate to bring it back to the kitchen. They both came back warmer , good effort. The food tasted good even though not as hot as I'd like. It would not keep me from going back.
