JOE EVA, JESSICA (BARTENDER), and FRANCESCO SETTEMBRINI made our experience beyond exceptional. From the moment we stepped it, we felt the warmth of their hospitality, mixed with gorgeous architecture. During brunch time, they offer a luxurious selection of food, meticulously prepared on the spot. The location is huge, artistic, and versatile. The next step will be the Michelin Guide's star.
