The food was great. The presentation was very unique and great for people who like eating with their eyes! Great for photos and celebrations. It was very unclear how large the portions would be from the menu, but ended up working out how we wanted. Drink and water service could not keep up. Great experience would go back

The bar/restaurant next door blasts techno/club/English dance music. If you sit outside, there is no way to ignore it, let alone have a quiet dinner conversation. You’d have to talk loudly…At this gorgeous & classy restaurant. Nextdoor business killed the vibe. Food was phenomenal. As a vegan…they immediately knew what to recommend.
