    Very eccentric and interesting cocktails. On the pricier side of the spectrum but well worth the price. Would visit again but after a few more shots at home

    The service food was superb, great Thai food from genuine Thai staff. Me and my date had a really great night there. They we're attentive to us and even remembered that one of us was Vegan on the RSVP notes. It was Valentines Day and they had a live band as well to set the mood real nice, so good. Definitely recommend the place.

    With so many restaurants in the city, very few reasons for repeat visits to one particular place but would definitely go back here for the wagyu beef tartare. It was so uniquely flavourful, I can’t remember tasting anything else like that anywhere else. The Iberico pork, the crudo and the duck papardelle were good although couldn’t really taste any foie gras. The service was excellent so that makes up for any shortcomings (which were very few). Definite must try
