    The ambience of the restaurant was amazing, service was very good and food was outstanding. We did find deserts a little bit on the heavy side, but they were still very tasty and we enjoyed them. It is a tad pricey, but then again the whole of the area is. Only slight downside, the kitchen is too "open" and some tables are literally next to it. Regardless, this restaurant is worth a visit!
