First time coming to Epice during lunch, and let’s just say I’ll definitely be returning. This place never disappoints. The food is so fresh and flavorful, not one thing I’ve ever ordered here hasn’t been amazing. I also really appreciate restaurants that take the time and care to curate a lunch menu that’s actually different than their dinner menu; it makes for a totally different experience (and a list of reasons for me to come back!) The staff here is also super friendly and attentive, making for a wonderful dining experience. 10/10
