Planning an event here was a seamless experience! Debbie and her team were so helpful and responsive throughout the planning phase, and we really appreciated how accommodating and involved the staff was on event day. We received a lot of high praise from our guests who commented on how well-executed everything was. Food and drinks were delicious, and the overall atmosphere was a great fit for our event. Would highly recommend for social/corporate events!

Warm and friendly atmosphere for a cozy evening with my wife at the end of our vacation. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Dinner choices were innovative and delicious. Cheesecake for dessert 🍮, wow! Wish this place were back home.

Would not recommend this as an evening option, aka would not reccomend a reservation after 7:30pm- I've made this mistake now twice. First time was a Friday night. I arrived at 10:30pm and was told I can't order a drink after 20 min intervals of the server coming to the table. The second time was for dinner...last call for food was 8:30pm and that is not shared in advance on the website or the Resy confirmation. Some of the food was delicious while some of it came out cold not knowing if it was on purpose or it had been sitting out. Dinner was rushed- from apps to dessert, all came out at the same time, while the price remains the same.... This really diminished the experience. Recommended: the cauliflower, lamb pasta, octopus Do not recommend: croquetes, duck skewer
