We had a Teal Deal for this place otherwise I would have never known it existed. It’s tucked back behind Maa Kitchen off Baymeadows. This is such an amazing place. It feels very sophisticated but also welcoming. We enjoyed several shareables and each dish was delicious. There was a fire breather for entertainment and several birthdays that night. They bring cold sparklers to the table. It’s not an everyday dining restaurant but we are definitely returning for our next celebration.

Food was great. Service was amazing. Atmosphere was amazing. We loved the fire dancing lady. I would give a 5 if the portions were bigger for the price.

Delicious but a bit pricey. Beautiful decor great for a date or romantic evening as well as with friends or family. Wouldn’t recommend for small children. Had a very interesting drink menu. Food was delicious and the drink menu very enticing. They have bruschetta with the whipped feta that was absolutely delicious. I ended up ordering two. Also, the Mezzy plates, we tried two, were equally delicious. The hanger steak was cooked perfection. We’ll definitely go back, especially since we have a coupon. Gotta try that drink menu next time.

Ambiance was gorgeous, but the food was extremely bland. We tried several dishes, and each one was muted in flavor due to lack of seasoning. It was extremely disappointing. Hopefully, once they get their footing, the food will be better.

It was very cold in there. Like slightly uncomfortably cold. Yet the service was great, the food was good. The ambience was set by an outstanding violinist. Definitely returning soon.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Great place to take pics and video. Service was ok but definitely could've been better. I celebrated my 42nd birthday with a group of girlfriends and we were disappointed in our waiter and the serving portions. Be ready to pay a hefty price for small portions. And the added gratuity??? Let's just say our waiter got away with robbery with his tip. His service certainly didn't match the tip. We waited so long for drinks and meals, never got refills on any water, and he just wasn't very welcoming. Maybe if we had a different waiter, our experience would've been better.

Oh My! It was so wonderful, we came in town from a different state and just from top to bottom, very well worth it since we walked through the door. The restaurant was even able to accommodate my special request and make the night even better worth while. Definitely 10 out of 10.
