From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we were in for something special. The warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for what turned out to be an incredible food tasting. Every dish was crafted with such care and precision that it felt like a story was being told with each bite. The flavors were bold, yet balanced, showcasing the chef’s talent and passion for their craft.
What truly set this experience apart were the personal touches. The staff went out of their way to make us feel like family—not just customers. They took the time to explain the inspiration behind each dish, sharing anecdotes that made us appreciate the food even more.
The service was impeccable, with a perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion. Small gestures, like sharing a sip of IWA5 without us even asking and offering a surprise dessert "on the house," made us feel valued and appreciated.
It’s rare to find a place that combines incredible food with such heartfelt hospitality. This wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience we can’t wait to relive. We left feeling inspired, completely satisfied, and already eager to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dining experience that goes above and beyond.
