    Very delicious food and mocktails! I was impressed with all the layers of flavor in the dishes we tried. I didn’t much like the dessert but everything else more than made up for that!

    DELICIOUS food and outstanding service. We absolutely LOVED every dish we were amazed. Additionally, the service was exceptional. Our server was so kind and informed, and they ended up taking a few dishes off our bill due to a very minor delay. 10/10 recommend.
