    Great brunch spot, service was on point and food was tasty. We recommend the wagyu burger and matcha French toast. The lobster tacos were super generous as well. Huge chunks of lobster meat. Would definitely come back to try their other menu items.

    Great food, atmosphere, and overall experience! Second time going and it didn't disappoint. It can be a little loud which is fine, except it was hard to hear our server as they were a quiet talker. Will definitely be coming back!

    The food is delicious and well done. Some dishes could use more sauce or more flavours. The atmosphere is really pretty. The servers came around often.

    Beautiful restaurant. Good service. Happy I found this place online randomly and I’ll be there again for sure. My server Christos (apologies if the spelling is wrong) was great too. Very nice cocktails

    Food was great. The music was a bit too loud, which made it hard to talk with the waiters. Our waitress misheard our order for a certain dish twice, and did not confirm with us in either time.
