My partner and I went out for a birthday dinner. We did the dine-out menu. The menu was well-curated with a good array of options for a set menu style, with courses brought out in a well-timed manner.The food was fantastic and servers did a great job explaining the menu options. We also got drinks which were delicious. We only tried two but the drink menu was extensive and the ones we ordered were well-made and reasonably priced. Since we were celebrating a birthday they also brought us a treat- mini cocktails since the dine-out menu included a dessert already. Lastly, the ambience and decor was nicely done, with aesthetically pleasing yet subtle touches. Interesting without being overwhelming. It is a fairly new restaurant and yet the staff were highly knowledgeable and experienced. Things were run very smoothly, as though the restaurant had been running for quite some time. Not often the case for a new place! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back to try the regular menu as well as more cocktails in the future!

It was a great space for a larger group. Our table of 8 ordered different cocktails, some were great, some were not. The service was great but the food was underwhelming.

Went for dine out with a group of 3. Poor service, server mixed up both our food and drink order, had to come back to the table multiple times to confirm what we ordered. Dine out food was good but nothing amazing, small portions. Drink description did not match up with the taste. Also one group member ordered the same drink twice and the second one tasted nothing like the first. Ambience was good. Had higher expectations for this restaurant overall.

For $65 per person we expected a bit more. The portions were tiny and one dish(peppers) wasn’t really much of a dish. I love the concept and the menu looks interesting but I did not feel we ate anywhere close to $65 pp. A bit disappointed in the portions.
