    Service was sooo good. Food is everything and more. What you would expect but better. We went on the earlier side, so vibes were more casual but nonetheless would go back. Brought us a complementary birthday dessert. Such a pleasant experience from the moment we stepped! Cute date spot. :)

    This was our first time at the restaurant. Every staff member was super nice, friendly and attended to our needs. Our waitress knew the ins and outs of the full menu and helped us select the most delicious dishes. We have to go back because we only tried the tip of the iceberg and everything we had was high quality and delicious. The cocktails were great and special. For sure a place I l e to go back to, just need to save up for it ;-) price quality is fair for this amazing food!!

    We had a fantastic experience last night to celebrate my sisters birthday and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Rysha. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Our drinks were always full, the food came out perfectly, and her warm personality made the entire meal even more enjoyable. Excellent service like this is hard to come by, and I truly appreciate the effort she put into making our night special. I’ll definitely be back—thank you!

    The Nazo 9 did not disappoint — from the fantastic presentation and unboxing to the variety of tastes delivered — this was a great way for me to sample their menu!
