I wouldn’t be surprised if this place earns a Michelin star. The service is outstanding—staff members are very attentive. The cocktails are incredible; I especially loved the wine-based old fashioned, and the Manhattan was equally delightful. The food is not only delicious but also locally sourced, featuring fantastic meats, cheeses, vegetables, and other fresh ingredients. Additionally, the presentation was captivating, with the chef explaining each dish before it was served. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention—the restaurant also has a shop that sells exquisite wines and liquors.

The risotto was truly out of this world! The thought and artistry that went into each Mocktail was greatly appreciated since I was choosing not to drink that night.Dietary restrictions: Everyone was given a menu according to their dietary restrictions. I was sitting next to people that chose the vegetarian option and nondairy options and they enjoyed them. I thoroughly enjoyed my no red meat option.
