The truffle salmon, chicken wings, and toro tartar are absolute must-tries—each dish is uniquely delicious! Peter, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure every request was handled perfectly. Fantastic experience!

Great restaurant, delicious food. Fantastic vibe to the place. Waiter could’ve been calmer and nicer regarding my ID lol. If he had a magnifying glass he would’ve used it. However I did get my drinks because it’s my REAL ID but aside from that great time.
