One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.

What can I say, this place on Sunday was extremely energetic. I suppose it was the Omegas founders day, but still I loved the atmosphere and the music selection. The food was a 10/10 especially the jerk chicken, fall off the bone good literally the salmon was excellent, but had a lot of seasoning. I can definitely see myself coming back with either a small party or a large one. Our waiter,Josh, was amazing and took care of us throughout our brunch session.
