    We were the last reservation of the night. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I had the pumpkin Kibby, which made me happy. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Seasoned well The cocktails were made very well and were different. Than a shopping plaza but definitely feels different on the inside. Nice ambience. Did not feel rushed to leave. We’ll go back again.
