It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.

Alex our server along with his help, was truly a human force. He picked up on the stressful yet important dynamic and offered us a care package of baked goods for my mother's special day. So much wonderful support that was cheerful and totally supportive. Thank you so much for adding the positive energy that was very much needed. Many thanx again and again.
