    This was my 1st visit. I dined with a friend who recommended it. It is pricey, but the food was delicious and the ambiance was lovely. We sat outside. It was a bit windy and chilly that day and the leaves and flowers from the trees were raining down on us. But that was a minor nuisance. Really enjoyed it and will be back.
