Best meal I can remember. Gorgeous setting, service is just right (everyone is so young but they really get it). Food was just fun and delicious, pacing was spot on. You won’t regret eating here.

Without a doubt the nicest meal we've ever had! Our first Michelin Star restaurant set menu, we went for the 5 course which ended up being about 8 servings. The staff were absolutely lovely, very friendly and accommodating. What's even better is they try to have the chef who cooks the dish brings it to you and explain the dish (whilst we pretended to know everything they were saying), the wine pairing was perfect and complimented the food spectacularly! Thank you to all the staff there, it was a beautiful experience to celebrate our engagement!

Lovely restaurant. We did the 5 course tasting and were quite full at the end. Every course was unique. We did ask for accommodations for a seafood dislike and they had a custom menu for that person. Quite expensive at almost 400.00. But would return again.
