AMAZING! We had the 49.50pp Feed Me option, which was filling for the 2 of us! The ambiance was cozy yet modern, making it the perfect spot for both a casual meal and a special evening out. The food was phenomenal—every dish was perfectly executed. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, and you could tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality. The service was top-notch as well, with attentive and friendly staff that made the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back, you won’t be disappointed!
