The drinks were really well done and very tasty, the ambience was very immersive. The ice master who was hand carving blocks of ice into spheres was fascinating to watch. A fun time had by all.

All good, but they didn’t give me the table I requested near the waterfall. They could have accommodated us.

Service was great. Some dishes were better than others (wasn’t a fan of the oxtail dumplings, but that’s more personal preference). Overall food was tasty, and I enjoyed the experience.

It was our first time dining at HnH, and I wasn’t quite used to the atmosphere of this style of restaurant. However, our servers were exceptional. They made us feel welcome, clearly explained the courses and the self-serve process, and checked on us every 5 to 10 minutes. Their attentiveness made us feel truly valued. 10/10 – we will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed our time here at Casa. Meals were delicious. Service was good. Our Server Richard was available to answer our questions and checked on us multiple times throughout our brunch. We went on a Sunday but didn’t realize there was a farmers market event on the street, was a bit hard to find parking nearby due to this event, when I called the restaurant the person on the phone was very polite, and helpful to us. Will definitely return for the Paella seafood again.

Nice Japanese yakitori bar where you can get decent drinks and yakitoris. I really liked squid ink karage and pork belly yakitori. Considering the price, portion is small here. If u want a place with drinks with small foods, i recommend coming here!
