    Ohhhhhh! This place is a culinary unicorn—a true vibe and experience. The main puppeteer and the true master of this incredible experience was Fizz. He was fantastic—the man of the hour. But the food! Here, me—it was out of this world ridiculous. We had the Caribbean seafood delight with squid ink pasta and an aioli sauce. Talk about a mind-blowing experience—delicious. I will be chasing those flavors for a lifetime! To top it off, we had chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was by far the best we've ever had. I love this place and can't wait to return. Five out of five stars - service, food, ambiance. Epic!!
