The service was outstanding, good banter, excellent knowledge very engaging, the food was extremely high quality. Everything we ate was an adventure for the tastebuds. Titillatingly good. Each mouthful of each meal was somehow as good if not better than the sample before. The paired drinks were also delightful. A truly unforgettable night, and one that we’ll reflect on until the next tasting.

I found the food to be decent, but unfortunately, the price doesn’t quite match the quality or quantity on the plate. The environment was fine, though nothing particularly special. On a positive note, the service was lovely. The staff took a thoughtful approach, checking in with us regularly and gradually introducing additional options. Their attentiveness and care were appreciated.
