Truly fantastic service from our server Iryna. She was attentive, helpful and present. It is important to note that mains are really not mains in the traditional sense. They include the protein only. If you want anything beyond a solitary piece of meat on your plate you need to order a side, which is between $8-15. So, for example, a single chicken skewer with brussel sprouts is $35. A main traditionally is a complete dish including sides but not here. The food was generally good tasting all around, however it is not cheap, charging for everything seperate adds up quickly.

Love this restaurant. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious. Great list of cocktails and mocktails. Best part is, during dinner, diners (and staff) can participate in karaoke right at their table. Makes for a really fun and unique experience. Different diners from opposite ends of the restaurant would partake in a duet..Had a great time! Oh, and the desserts were amazing
