    We were so thankful to our waiter who gave us direction on what to order food wise. I love gin, so the drink menu was extensive. Wish I had more time to try more. Thank you to our lovely waiter that took our country kind and help us through. Definitely recommend and would love to come back for a ladies day.

    We went there to celebrate our friend's birthday around 7 pm. The staff were super nice and friendly. I'm a vegetarian, and they tried to fulfil my requirements as I wanted the rice bowl without salmon. The food was so good; we loved the tacos so much. The turmeric and coconut rice was the best! We will definitely come back!
