We were a large group dining on the $69 set menu. All dietaries were accommodated for and waiters were on top of their game when delivering dishes ensuring to inform those with intolerances. Most importantly the food was phenomenal, every dish was tasty and flavoursome. Venue’s look itself is very modern and elegant.

Great cocktails, make sure you arrive during happy hour to make the most of it. The food is delicious. We ordered the Bo La Lot - Beef wrapped in Betel leaves and the Hoiana Banh Xeo - pancake. So good! It was a great night with a small band playing which really made it a fun dinner. The staff are super nice and helpful and the bar tender creates awesome cocktails with a real attention to detail. Highly recommend, particularly if you wish to reminisce that last visit to Hoi An 🌼
