It was my friend’s bachelorette and they were kind enough to provide dessert for the occasion. That was very thoughtful. The flavors are really delicious and I suggest sharing dishes as that went well for us. Great experience and I would definitely go back.

Pork belly was pretty good, everything else was not. The chowder was terrible, worse than canned soup! Service really rushed us out too.

Food was great, full of different flavours on a single dish. Unfortunately we were let down by the service, the English guy came across all friendly at the start but after payment and tip he immediately walked away and ignored us until we left. Is 18% tip not good enough??

Food was just OK. For a small plates experience, the foods didn’t really mesh well together. Flavor-wise it was all over the place. Cocktails were good. Service was great. Vibe was nice but would save your money and just grab something casual.
