I melted with every bite, it was a divine way to end a perfect meal. more»

Our whole meal was relaxing, elegant and simply delicious. more»

The service was not only slow , but pretenious and unprofessional _ they just plain forgot us _ forgot to clean up plates , messed up onthe order , etc. ,. more»

This is indicative of the attentive service , recognition that we wanted to enjoy a good wine , and the overall unhurried atmosphere. more»

The place was packed and rather than the romantic atmosphere we'd expected , it was bright and extremely noisy -- we shouted ourselves hoarse merely trying to carry on a conversation across our small table. more»

The food however is very , very good and the candle lit atmosphere is comforable and romantic. more»
