Very hard to get a rez but good was excellent. Lasagna was fantastic and very different, using white sauce and rib meat. Pizza very good along with bouillabaisse. Fresh pasta. Make sure to ask which sauce is spicy though.

Went with some friends to celebrate an engagement. Food menu is diverse, and offered plenty of options, even for the one person who did not like raw fish. Over all a great experience, though a bit pricey.

My first time dining here, but it won’t be my last! The Lychee sangria was tasty, as was the guacamole with the fried pork belly, and the street corn. The service and food quality was very good.
