My husband and I made reservations here to celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the food was equally impressive. At 8 months pregnant, I had some dietary preferences—particularly avoiding anything raw—and the staff was incredibly accommodating, especially with the tasting menu. This spot is perfect for a special occasion or simply a night out to enjoy excellent food paired with outstanding service.
