The food was amazing, and we’re definitely going back! Unfortunately, our table was near the entrance, so every time the door opened, we felt the cold air from outside. The ambiance was nice and beautiful, but it was quite loud, so we had to raise our voices to maintain the conversation (something I don’t usually enjoy). Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely return at a different time.

It was a great experience. We did the Chefs Experience and Aaron was simply amazing. Thoroughly explained every dish, we took shots, and he even made some great recommendations. We were celebrating a birthday and the kitchen wished us a happy birthday and had great fun energy. It was just an overall good time. Good food, drinks and people! I’ll be back!
