Food was exceptional and seafood quality was excellent. The service was top notch and the waitress changed cutleries after each plate which is not common during a buffet.

Phenomenal meal - completely surpassed even my highest expectations. Excellent, top notch service that was the perfect amount of attentive and professional that was never disruptive but always available. The signature tasting menu is incredible and a testament to the chefs’ vision and heritage, and both the premium and the classic wine pairings are not to be missed with their thoughtful craftsmanship and creativity. Elements such as the eel gelato were new to my family and myself, however I have never been so thankful that I put my trust in the chefs. I truly cannot recommend highly enough.
