    I was really impressed by the decor and the overall vibe. It’s such a beautiful and well-thought-out space. The staff was incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to our waitress, Sam, who was very helpful and polite. Also, a big thank you to the hostess and manager for greeting us so nicely and even gifting us a lovely chocolate box for our Valentine’s Day dinner. From the ambiance to the food, everything was top-notch. The dishes were flavorful and reasonably priced and the drinks were just as amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends for dinner! My only suggestion would be to expand the menu a bit, having a few more food options and more than just three desserts would be great. But other than that, everything was impeccable and totally Instagrammable. Every single detail in that place is worth a picture! One small note: the address on Google and Instagram should be updated to 325 instead of 321 to avoid any confusion. Wishing you all much success and I can’t wait to visit again!
