Beautiful place! The menu is limited, which is good, they make a few dishes and make them very well. Everything was delicious. The main courses are small portions, you will definitely need an appetizer. I wish there were more options for sides, but the ones they do offer (brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and mushrooms) are very good. Food presentation is beautiful and the atmosphere is great for business dinners or friends who want to chat.

Most of the food was good, but the medium rare steaks came out medium well. And I say steaks because 4 of us got the same steak, ordered l medium rare, and received medium well. For a less expensive restaurant I would not have complained. But with tip this was $125 per person, so I’d expect...
