From Citysearch

In Short
The mirrored walls and open kitchen make the establishment look spacious without sacrificing its ability to feel cozy and warm. Soothing hues of blue and green add to the impressive decor. Ordering dessert first is perfectly acceptable, as the chocolate-banana tart is a well-known favorite. The wild mushroom roulade is a popular apetizer, while an eclectic menu of main dishes fits right into the setting.
