It was so cute, a truly magical place that I can't wait to return to!     I loved this wall of mirrors and the Christmas in July room (below).   I would have been mesmerised with the atmosphere alone but the food was also so delicious. As I'm indecisive when it comes to ordering food from a place I've never visited before , I like to look at what other people are eating before I order.
