    We got there for a dinner on Friday,the place wasn’t crowded were many available tables . The music was so loud and it got even more louder . Like to dine at a club .The service was great ,very friendly and attentive,fast too. The food and drinks are OWERPRICED !!! The food itself was mediocre and of course it shouldn’t be so costly! Also automatically they charge you 20 percent service .

    I thought there wasn’t a focus on the food. The effort went towards creating a festive, flashy atmosphere. Our server was somewhat attentive, but the focus was on large and pretty loud party groups. We had to wait a long time for our dessert. The cakes were too cold and needed to be more room temperature. I thought the music was too loud for a restaurant. It actually had a club feel not an ambience of a restaurant. Portions could have been smaller but better quality.

    Food was shockingly still very good, but service came with a strange attitude. Did not feel welcomed, felt more like an annoyance. Cocktails were not good. Lychee martini too sweet, dirty martini was also very off and I had to force it down. Blue cheese olives were the cheap ones you get pre-stuffed with the strange powdery cheese from a jar😭. This place also needs some serious updates. Bathrooms were dirty upon arrival and the walls are peeling. Not a good look!

    The venue was cute. The service was really good and the staff were friendly. The cocktails were good but pricey. The food was BLAH. I ordered from the Restaurant Week menu and had the chicken satay, which was not tasty at all. I also got the crispy beef with green beans (tasty), and the chocolate cake dessert. All pretty lack luster and are heavy in the sauce.

    The food overall was decent but overpriced. The service was lackluster at best. We had drinks at the bar before dinner and then table service. The bartenders spent most of their time looking at instagram. Our waiter barely engaged with us and didn’t seem to want to be bothered. The tip was included at 20% which should be reserved for exceptional service. This is not a place we would return to in a city of great restaurants.

    Waiter took 20 mins to come to the table just to tell us to give him a few mins. I had to tell him to bring us water while he already ran off. He came back and said kitchen is closing so w head to order. The appetizer came out in literally less than 3 mins and it was cold, and tasted old. Didn’t even get to order entree as kitchen closed. Never again!
