    I had an amazing experience last night at Bar Prima. I've been dying to go for the longest time, and it did not disappoint. Jarred took great care of us. In fact, the whole staff was super nice and very attentive. Iain runs a tight ship. The food was well executed, tasted amazing, and looked super sexy. The wine I had was a great find, but now I can't remember the grape. Of course, the decor and ambience is fire. It is perfectly lit and nicely spaced out compared to most cramped places today. We felt well taken care of and I can't wait to go back and my 2nd choices. Oh, and the agnolotti is a MUST. Thanks to everyone for a great night.

    From the moment we stepped into DaNico, we were struck by how beautiful the space was. The high ceilings, artwork, and dark colour tones created a dramatic and refined atmosphere. It felt like the perfect setting for a special evening. The attention to detail extended to the glassware and plateware, which were both elegant and intriguing, adding an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. The service was impeccable. From the moment we entered, the staff were warm, attentive, and thoroughly professional. When confirming our reservation, we mentioned a dietary restriction, and to our delight, our server was already aware of it when greeting us. They thoughtfully provided tailored suggestions, which made us feel genuinely cared for. As for the food, every dish showcased incredible depth of flavour and texture. The creativity in the menu was evident and much appreciated, making each bite a delight to savour. The cocktail menu had a great mix of creative drinks, and I loved that there were some really interesting non-alcoholic options too. As someone who is dairy-free, dessert is often an afterthought at most restaurants, but DaNico surprised us with dairy-free desserts that were both indulgent and satisfying—a rare and much-appreciated treat! Overall, DaNico delivered on all fronts—ambiance, service, and cuisine. It was a memorable experience.
