    It was an unforgettable experience. Fresh crab soufflé and passionfruit soufflé were outstanding. Well done, chef.

    The passion fruit souffle was the clear standout of the meal. If there were an option to come in just for dessert, I'd be back for this unique treat.

    This was all around a most lovely experience. The ambiance was soft and inviting. Service was impeccable and accommodating. The food was divine. Soufflé is an art form from the kitchen and it was done to perfection. The passionfruit soufflé left a memory I’ll be seeking to repeat. So happy that I live close enough to get to experience it again.
