We were seated upstairs for a quiet dinner to celebrate a special anniversary. Our server, Syreeta, was excellent at answering our questions and meeting our needs. The food was reminiscent of a fine French cuisine…. Delicious.

This was my first time here and the reviews definitely pulled me in. I reserved. Table for 8 the same day on a Friday night. We were seated immediately and had great service all night. The food was delicious, the drinks were tasty, and the ambiance was stellar. My friend had a great birthday dinner complete with a special desert from the restaurant.

The omakase experience was delicious! I’ve never had coffee that tastes that good before. Each course is presented beautifully and the barista gives an explanation of the flavors and how to enjoy the various tastes in each course. Arrive hungry, and without previous caffeine if you’re sensitive to it. I was energized all day 🤣!
