Great service staff, innovative dishes, excellent drinks. The only negative thing is the location on a multi-lane road and packed rush hour traffic.

Really nice restaurant. Excellent service and good food. I am glad we were in the back area as it got too crowded in the main area and was far more noisy. Overall a great restaurant with really attentive hosts.

This was a wonderful experience. I booked for a party of 12 - small office holiday party. In the past, I've gone to greater lengths, but this year was going to be a simpler event. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service, the ambiance of the venue and the amazing food. On top of that, the bill was so reasonable, I was really very happy with my decision. The people that attended have raved about how good the food was. I highly recommend!
