Great food and cocktails. Food was delicious and came out really quick, not much waiting between courses. Cocktails were interesting, some ones I hadn't seen before, the avocado, ice tea and dill ones were tasty. Service was fantastic, really nice and friendly staff. I had noted it was for a birthday in the booking and when my partner was away from the table they checked with me it was a birthday and gave us a candle in the dessert and a glass of limencello. Very nice of them, totally unprompted and stuff like this really adds to experience. Would recommend this place to anyone.

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!
