Food was fantastic! A bit pricey for what they’re worth but so so tasty. service was meh. The waitress told us we could only stay for 45 minutes because there was another reservation booked, and generally spoke to me with a snippy attitude. Did not appreciate her at all

From the moment I entered the restaurant, everything was excellent. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. I'm not sure if they were just naturally fast-paced or in a bit of a rush, but they remained professional and focused on their jobs the entire time. Most importantly, the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish exceeded expectations, and I truly enjoyed the entire experience.
