What a wonderful experience. My husband and I chose the tasting menu with wine pairing and the entire meal was a treat. We loved each dish, beautifully presented and the flavours were exceptional. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant as it it so special. And we will be returning soon with friends as we know they will enjoy it.

Unfortunately this was a terrible dining experience. We booked a 6:30 reservation for 4 to do the tasting menus for a special occasion. The lag between small plates was so unreasonably long that after 3 hours we had to beg for the remaining dishes (including our main course!) to go. Each dish took almost an hour to arrive, so at the 2-hour mark we’d only gotten through 2 small plates - each literally a few bites of food. We asked them if they could speed up the pacing, which they said they would, but still had to ask numerous times for our food which was always “coming in a few minutes.” It states that parties of 4 have a 2-hour reservation, so not even getting to the main course after 3 long hours was ludicrous. We left hungry and utterly disappointing, and the experience ruined what was supposed to be a special night.

Only the 2nd time I’ve had the privilege of tasting wild turkey, but this was the first time in a restaurant. Turkey Tikka fritter was the star of the tasting menu, already booking a next reservation!

Was a great experience! Chefs visited the tables provided insight of the food being served. It was very much appreciate for that as we felt very confident. Very friendly staff. Good location.
