    Food and service was excellent, akin to fine dining. The wait staff was attentive, helpful, & conversational. The experience was exceptional and I hope to go again before the pop-up installation leaves.

    We celebrated a friend’s birthday with High Tea. Our server was very attentive and the food was outstanding! The atmosphere inside does not have the feel of something very high end. But we were looking for great food and something different and it delivered.
