The service was outstanding. The food for the price mediocre. However the tea selection was very good. The weddings overtook the area and the noise level was too much. Don't think I will go back. And there should be at least two glasses of champagne served.

Went for the first time with my family and was quite impressed by the lunch experience. The ambience and the service were amazing; Claudia particularly was so kind and helpful. My parents wanted to go back immediately since they were so impressed with the value. Can’t wait to try their sushi next time.
