Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the place was cozy and the service was outstanding! Perfect for a special dinner. We went there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and the waiters and waitress were so attentive and made sure it was memorable. Luna was super nice and helpful with her recommendations. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes, they really were absolutely delightful (and so many vegetarian options!). Highly recommend!

Food and service were great. Nice and cozy restaurant. It was my girlfriend's birthday and they brought the dessert with a candle on it and sang Happy Birthday to her. I wasn't expecting that and it was awesome. We enjoyed a lot.
