We went to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday with family and friends. It was the perfect location with a wood fire for ambience and warmth. We ordered a bunch of entrees and mains to share, the absolute highlights were the fish of the day, wagyu beef, oysters, hummus with pita bread and the halloumi with pomegranate. Everything was super tasty and we will definitely be back. I would just like to thank all the staff they were so accommodating and friendly, which made the experience even more special. Thanks for having us.
