"Spacious bar and restaurant with attentive service. We sat in the bar area and had a few plates and a couple glasses of wine. They seem to have an extensive wine list and menu. Air conditioning was on blast on the summer day, so it was nice to cool off and enjoy a nice lunch. My only critique is that the menu is so extensive it's difficult to make a decision, or perhaps find the restaurant's true vibe. Everything tasty though!"

"Good food, portions were good as well and the staff did their best to accommodate 3 children. There isn't much room for baby strollers, and that's about the only negative point, the rest was great"
