Christmas dinner was a delicious, lovely experience. The Halibut ceviche was a light and fresh start. We chose the Duck and Braised Wagyu for our mains and both were so good! This restaurant is a wonderful place for amazing food, tasty drinks and exceptional service.

Every dish and every cocktail was outstanding. Flavor explosions with every bite, well balanced and unique cocktails. Gabby and Rudy took great care of us, George is a true hospitalitarian, and everyone who came to our table was so knowledgeable about the item they were serving. Great restaurant, great staff. Completely understandable why they earned a Michelin star. Run, don’t walk, to your reservation now!

From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The hostess warmly welcomed us, and our server set the tone with impeccable service. The attention to detail was unmatched… Every staff member even signed a birthday card, a gesture that felt incredibly thoughtful. The ambiance is something you truly need to experience for yourself absolutely amazing. And the food? Simply unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back soon!
