Ismael was an excellent host. He was attentive, kind, personable and helpful. The space is gorgeous. Loved the playlist! Really lived up to photos online. Everything ordered was delicious- I had a goodbye Charlie and my friend had an espresso martini. We shared East coast oysters, minted peas, French fries, striped bass and chicken plate. Will definitely be back again

Good reliable restaurant for classic Indian food. Thought the saffron rice was a little dry and flavorless, the lobster bisque was somewhat fishy but overall good food. Excellent service and lovely atmosphere.
