The atmosphere is charming and there are various dining areas throughout the restaurant. That way, it feels more quaint and it gives you some privacy when you’re dining.  I think it’s a perfect place to have a celebration or large gathering. If you have a big group, make sure you contact the restaurant in advance so they can be prepared. 

The bar area is a great spot for a drink, to relax on the couches and talk, or to listen to music. There is also an outside area that had live music and dancing when we were there.
