    If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers both an incredible branzino and a high-energy atmosphere, this spot is it. The space is undeniably stylish—dim lighting, modern decor, and a crowd that looks like they just stepped out of a fashion editorial. But be warned: this place is LOUD. Conversations compete with the bass-heavy playlist, making it more of a scene than a spot for intimate dining. That said, the food is worth it. The branzino, perfectly grilled with a crispy, golden skin, is a standout. Flaky, tender, and subtly infused with citrus and herbs, it’s the kind of dish that reminds you why simple, well-executed seafood is unbeatable. A drizzle of olive oil and a side of charred vegetables round it out beautifully. Would I return? Absolutely—for that branzino alone. But next time, I’ll bring my loudest friends and leave my quiet, intimate dinner plans for somewhere else.
