The most romantic dinner of my life because of the rooftop sunset! The staffs were nice but everything takes forever.Food’s decent, they can do better.We dined here in May 2019.
This dining experience was absolutely amazing. It embodied everything from great service, great food and great ambience. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. If you enjoy wine they have a great selection and the sommelier is passionate and knowledgeable. Highlights have to be the lamb main and pistachio dessert. We even got to meet the head chef at the end, will definitely be visiting again! Thank you
Wow, what an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire night. But the real star of the evening was Chef Giannis. The dishes were not only visually stunning but bursting with flavor! You can tell he puts his heart and soul into every plate. Every bite was a culinary masterpiece. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back!
Visited this place on May 27 2023. The atmosphere is really nice. It's a beautiful place with outdoor seating. The walk In is lined with cool historic photos. My opinion of the food was that it wasn't that good. i didn't like the mains. the first few courses were strong, and desert was good. Had two very poor experiences with Service. First the waitress pouring our wine misoperated the Coravin wine pouring device and spilled half the glass of wine onto the table. After cleaning it up, she did not finish the pour into my wife's glass. paid full price for less than half a glass of wine. Second issue was the waiter failed to let us know that replacing an item on the menu would incur a significant surcharge. Even if both these experiences had not happened, i did not feel the meal would have lived up to the cost of the meal.
