My wife and I really enjoyed our appetizers. We got the burrata and beer salad. Both very good. My wife got the chicken milanese which she really liked. I got the Japanese BBQ chicken which was also really good. Great atmosphere, vibes were very nice. Nice cutlery and dishware, will be going back again.

We made a reservation weeks in advance for my boyfriend's birthday. When we arrived, the host and hostess were very professional. I left a note about his birthday and this was acknowledged throughout the evening. We were seated promptly and ordered with our server, who was fantastic the entire evening, a real pro! The appetizer, entree, and desserts were all delicious and we can't wait to return.

Very good We all had a lovely time . Plenty of tea w honey. I even saved the small honey jars. They were so cute. I will recycle them and use them again. I couldn’t seem to think they would go in the trash. We all ordered from menu. You could get the buffet but choose to order. I had the veggie quiche. Delicious. Everyone one else was happy at our table. Nice relaxing atmosphere. ❤️❤️💜💜Happy New year All
