Apollonia, you should be incredibly proud to have Louisa on your team. I was planning a special final date night before our wedding, and not only did we get one of the best seats in the house, but Louisa also asked if she could enhance our experience. She prepared a personalized card and asked which songs we would like to hear during our meal. The surprise was delightful—so much so that we ended up dancing in front of the entire restaurant! One of the songs was going to be our first dance at the wedding, and I figured it was a good opportunity to practice. The food was outstanding—a wonderful fusion of Mediterranean flavors with intricate, delicate notes. Louisa, you made our night truly special, and it will forever be a cherished memory in our love story. Thank you!

The food was fantastic—definitely worth returning for, or even coming back 20 times! The truffle bread was absolutely divine. We arrived right at opening and had the entire restaurant to ourselves, which was great since we had kids with us. The service was very polite as well.

I love this place. I have been here twice: once for lunch and once for brunch. Both times I had an excellent experience. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The staff is extremely service oriented and very nice. When I went there for brunch, my friend and I lingered there for hours, and the waiter never rushed us and kept refilling our coffee. Also, the interior is beautiful. Highly recommend!!

Truly exceptional cuisine from the kitchen which is by far the best part of this restaurant. Unfortunately, we had long waits for service during a busy lunch hour. “Hernan” was seldom seen, although he had good knowledge of the menu. Fortunately we were able to ask other servers for help. I'm not used to seeing a 5% charge for “Employee Health Care Benefits” added to a restaurant bill. I think that's a bad trend that will hopefully die off soon. No charge for heating cooling of the … – show
