Great place! Overall really food was really good i did expect the chicken al vodka to be sold out but came with an alternative dish that was similar. Service was really great we did however show up about 5 minutes before our reservation and had to wait for our table to be ready for just a few minutes. Our waitress 10/10 service she was very patient and gave popularity on dishes and drinks. Will be coming back it was great
