What people say
“Recommended by our hotel hostess, this restaurant serves Italian inspired dishes with a seasonal rotation on some. Our waitress was friendly and outgoing as well as the GM. Lovely simple presentations with reasonable portions. Worth a trip for dessert alone. The cantaloupe passion fruit sorbet is the sleeper here but did I mention seasonal rotation? Hurry” — Sean J. Simon
