    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.

    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.
