    Beautiful old home with upstairs and downstairs seating. We sat upstairs and the decor was gorgeous with great music in the background. The service was impeccable and the food was to match. A very enjoyable experience.

    Everyone (even the carnivore in the group) loved the meal. And ensured the celiac member was fully protected. Bang bang broccoli is a must. Love the lettuce wraps. Loved the cheesecake dessert. And perhaps my favourite thing was the mezcal cocktail with green garnish (name forgotten)- not sweet, great flavour. Excellent service

    Such a great experience- arrived early enough to have a happy hour app and drink which was a lovely way to kick off our meal (and super delicious). The mains were filling, creative and beautiful. Even my meat-eating friend was impressed. Can’t wait to go back!
