Amazing. We were late to our reservation due to a car accident in the highway and they were very understanding. The service was amazing it was extremely beautiful in the restaurant. The food was 10/10.

Our reservation guaranteed us a 90 minute reservation at the bar and we were asked to leave at 70 minutes. Food was ok, drinks were really good.

Cocktails too sweet. Tuna crisp strangely sweet. Ambience in back room (without the bar) not very nice—feels like someone’s basement. Server not knowledgeable.
