If you like gourmet, this is your place.....foams, small bites etc. All wonderful. And the place could not be more beautiful, romantic, private, choose your adjective. Service is discrete and prompt. Ideal in any category.

We had a nice afternoon here with friends. Service was prompt and attentive without being obtrusive. The seafood antipasto platter was excellent. The pinot gris was perfectly chilled. My only complaint is that the waitress didn't have extensive knowledge about the wines on the menu, and some bottles were out of stock.

This has to be one of the prettiest places I have ever been for lunch. My husband took me here for a three-course lunch at the end of March. The food was excellent, but the setting and the decor meant that they are the main things I rave about. I still can't believe somewhere so beautiful exists and you can... More

We loved everything about our 3-course lunch, from the service to the scenery to the fact that we were not rushed and were given 3 hours to enjoy our al fresco dining experience!
