They had great selections of food and beverage and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. Perhaps a little pricey for a regular occasion but if you're a tourist or have a special occasion at an elegant venue, I would highly recommend. The atmosphere between the venue and the lovely staff was delightful!!
