This place was really good! Four of us went for dinner and had a great time, the food was fantastic and the staff was friendly and attentive. We had lots of shareable plates that were delicious. The sea bass was my favorite, my partner loved the wagyu. I highly recommend this spot for a fun night out, the energetic atmosphere will definitely elevate the party, be aware that the noise level is high.
