    Our server Justin gave impeccable service, attentive but not pushy. All of the plates tasted fantastic, the noodles were our favorite. Cocktails were balanced and tasty, their garnish presentation was positively subtle. It's refreshing to visit this place again after a couple of years and still come out of it with a fantastic experience.

    We went early so it wasn't busy. But we really enjoyed the food and drinks . Was a cute spot for a date night or catch up with friends . We tried the coconut shrimp which was amazing ! Definitely our favourite and the lamb tartar. Burrata and was also good. The flatbreads looked more like pizza and were basic but still enjoyable. The drinks were top notch , especially the experience ones. Super cool . Was like a mini barchef.
