    Love the food, the cocktails , the uniqueness, but the prices are out of line for what is being offered. Also, at that price point service should be spot on. We waited at least 15 minutes to get a cocktail, which arrived after our food. Classic mistake for fine dining. We have been there twice ( not at prime time either) and have had similar experiences.

    Pretty interior in beige/offwhite theme. The food was pretty good with exception of shrimp, which was burnt and overcooked. You could actually smell it before you tasted it. I questioned it and the waiter stated that he would talk to the kitchen so they come and correct the issue. They never did. I still gave the waiter a nice 20% tip, which I should not, since he did not follow through with the issue. Beware, they add 3% to the check an inflation compensation. It's in small print on the menu. You can ask them to remove it as long as you notice the small print. Otherwise it has nice atmosphere and I would still recommend it, but don't be shy to expect quality for what you pay for.

    This was our first time and the place did not disappoint. The food was excellent and our waiter did a great job of spacing out the delivery of the dishes. Our favorites: Japanese eggplant, spinach and feta spread, and the hot honey halloumi. The ambience inside the restaurant is amazing. There is a large artificial tree in the middle of the space underneath a glass ceiling, and all of the tables are positioned around the tree. We had a group of four and thought that number was a perfect way to split a number of dishes and try lots of stuff. We will return for sure.
