The main room of the restaurant is a cavernous square room, only holding a few tables spaced well apart—while elegant, the space is cold in every sense of the term. The temperature of the space negatively affected our experience there, especially when sat for four hours. The waitstaff were very knowledgable of their jobs, the detail of the dishes and the wine, but failed to notice the how cold everyone in the room was. If we go back we are wearing large wool sweaters. The food, however, was great. It was tasty, colorful and playful. And the wine paired beautifully. We felt like we got to try local cuisine, but at a higher level.
