    We had a great experience for brunch! The chicken karrage had a light and crispy batter and the chicken was very moist. The eggs benedict was flavourful and cooked perfect. the portions are also very generous. Overall great food and experience, I am excited to return for dinner.

    First time visiting the restaurant. Really beautiful decor inside Food was fantastic, lots of shareable options that don’t break the bank. The brussel sprouts and duck tataki were phenomenal!

    Food was delicious but they were very pushy on the table time limit, not the most enjoyable feeling. The bar seating is much better than the small stools used for standard seating. Overall it was a nice dinner.
