Our truffle-infused dishes aren’t made with artificial oils—they feature the real mushroom that gives our restaurant its name.
Your evening unfolds in spaces we’ve designed for memorable dining. Upstairs, chandeliers and golden drapes create intimate elegance. Downstairs, our newly renovated bar area offers sophisticated casual dining. Both deliver the same authentic flavors and attentive service that’s kept guests returning for nearly twenty years.
