    Amazing. I got engaged before and they were incredibly accommodating, gave us a really nice window booth, and a special desert with sparklers after. The staff was very attentive but not overbearing and the food was incredible. 10/10 experience and would absolutely return.

    A wonderful little restaurant inside Monville Hotel. Original and classic dishes with a twist like tomato salad with burrata and shaved peach snow. The veal was outstanding as was the salmon and sweet potato gnocchi. Service was attentive and friendly. We topped our meal off with the date cake. I highly recommend this spot!
