Great food and very attentive service. The portions were on the smaller side, but everything was really well prepared. Even the delicate pear salad had many complex flavors. It's an upscale place on a shopping street, they have a more casual cafe across the street that I haven't visited.

Love the environment and service and starters but the entree we ordered was just flavorless. We got the pastas and it’s just buttery and that’s it. It was not satisfying to eat and worth the price we paid for.

Good food and service but very small portions with moderately high prices. I'm sure after spending $130 for 2 people, I'll be going to Taco Bell afterwards...
