The food was genuinely great, but overall, the experience was disappointing. We were seated at a table that hadn't been properly cleaned, which set a poor tone from the start. The service felt rushed—they brought out each course before we had time to finish the previous one, making the meal feel hurried and disorganized. Additionally, the decor was quite underwhelming and lacked any real charm or atmosphere. While the kitchen shows promise, the overall dining experience fell short.

Beautifully inspired dishes! The flavors and unique 5 course dinner left us wanting more. We topped it off with the vegan tiramisu which was so delicious we ended up ordering another. Such a unique restaurant.

Birthday lunch for six gal pals was amazing. From the moment we entered and were seated at a small table for a tea ceremony until we left (more than an hour AFTER their regular closing time), we were in awe at the presentation and flavors of the food. Our servers gave us delightful descriptive stories to accompany each dish which added to our wonderful experience. We will definitely be back again I tried but unable to add photos to this review 🤔
