Would highly recommend. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were amazing. Every bite of food made me slow down and savour the moment. The drinks were phenomenal. We tried the Mimosa, Meguroni and Sour - Wow! Balanced, flavourful and unique. The service (Reever) was very polite and pleasant. He was very busy but when he got to our table, he made sure to spend the necessary amount of time to make sure we felt taken care of. Even the music was eclectic and added to the experience. Did notice people had to wait in the front lobby for long periods as the two servers were also the bartenders and hosts… but no one left, and why would they. All in all, we will definitely be back.
