    Wonderful experience to celebrate Thanksgiving. Just did the Thanksgiving prix fixe menu which was a great value. Cannot wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. Sushi was amazing. Ravioli even better. Everyone from the hostesses to the maître ď to our waiter and the food runners and bussers were far far above our expectations. Highly recommend this restaurant and as I said I cannot wait to go back!

    If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

    Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. The chopped autumn salad and saffron coconut rice pudding are a must. Special shoutout to Annie for being an incredible server! Excited to be seated with her again in the near future.
