    As someone who's been deeply involved in the cannabis world and an activist for over four decades, I was thoroughly impressed by this establishment. The setup is exceptional—especially the ventilation system, which allows you to enjoy cannabis at your table without disturbing others. My partner doesn’t smoke, and the smoke didn’t bother her at all. The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. They greeted me by name, which made the experience feel personalized and welcoming. The food, however, was the highlight of our visit. I have to give it a solid five stars—it’s hands down some of the best food in town, both in terms of flavor and presentation. Every dish, from the spices to the flavors, was incredible, and even the dessert was a pleasant surprise. We’re already planning our next visit—not just for the fun show we enjoyed on Valentine’s Day, but to savor the delicious food again and relish the freedom to enjoy a joint after dinner. Highly recommend

    We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
