The ambiance is relaxed yet refined, making it ideal for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The staff were attentive and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the experience.

    This was a nice spot and the happy hour menu was really good. Customer service with the bartenders could be better. It took a while to get served and even more time elapsed before my water was refreshed. And I was at the bar eating for happy hour.

    The food was amazing, first time trying Georgian food but we loved it. They had someone playing guitar and singing. The volume was very appropriate not so loud that you couldn’t talk and hear each other. The pace of fishing being brought out was perfect. No so fast we felt rushed but also not huge gaps of time between us finishing what we had and waiting for the next thing. The setting was perfect for a nice date not, fancy enough to feel like you’re going out somewhere really nice but not stuffy. We had a great time and enjoyed the restaurant.
