We had the Taste of Freyja menu with the beverage pairing and were blown away by the quality and deliciousness of the food. The night was made even better by the attentive service of Abraham and Nick who both did a fantastic job of making sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. Thank you for a memorable night. Would recommend to anyone wanting a special night out.
