We sat at the mozzarella bar and had the most amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant at her job! She's been there 10 years and is a total pro. She helped us decide on our mix of things to order and every dish was incredible. Also, our cocktails were so delicious. The smoothest martini I've ever had. My husband hand an old fashioned and said the same thing. It was a very special dining experience.

Incredible food! We had the burrata with persimmons and celery, grilled prawns (Amazing!!!!!), short ribs and broccolini. Everything was so flavorful and beautifully paired flavors. Best broccolini I’ve ever had. Will return again. Everything was perfect for sharing.

Food was great but the constant filling the room with incense was way too much and overpowered the food at times.
