Such an aesthetically cool restaurant, yummy food (the broccoli dish was a surprise star of the night), and we had the most exceptional customer service. I don’t always take servers up on their recommendations; but every rec made was spot on. Enjoyed the food, great ambience and the best energy from our server. Thanks for a great night!

Love love the aesthetic and the vibe. Ultra-cool. Service was excellent. I wish the drinks were better. We both got a cocktail, and while they were good, they weren't amazing - which was an expectation we both had. They didn't seem to have enough liquor in them and really mild on flavor. The food however, was great. Would definitely go again as the presentation of the restaurant from coming out of the ride share and walking up, to being seated was such a fabulous feeling.
