    This place is absolutely phenomenal! The experience kicked off with amazing appetizers paired with incredible drinks. The drink selection was massive, offering something for every taste. The bone marrow appetizer was a standout—rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. I also loved the twist on the selection of tequila; it was creative and refreshing. To top it all off, the dessert was both delicious and a visual masterpiece. Every dish felt like a work of art, from the flavors to the presentation. A must-visit for food lovers

    Incredible! This hospitality team understands hospitality. The ambiance is perfect, intimate yet welcoming. The menu is curated to perfection. Every drink is so thoughtful, well balanced and delicious. The music- bangers after bangers that alone is a reason to visit, do a little shimmy while you dip your chicken karaage. Going back to service- everyone there knows how to make an experience and that’s what you get going there! My friend and I tried basically the whole menu- Smooth Operator and In a Cadillac were our top favorites but you can’t go wrong with anything there and I can’t wait to go back!
