Our server was enthusiastic and professional. He asked right away if we had any allergen concerns (we do) and proceeded to make sure everything was safe to eat. The food was delicious and the tapas style was so much fun.

Food was great but texture of artichokes made them overwhelmingly hard to eat, services for drinks at tables were really slow but drink quality was great and ambiance was great.

Dinner was delicious. Every entrée we ordered was very well prepared and the sauces were exceptional. Your table is lit by a single candlelight. Would definitely repeat.

Love this place! The food is delicious enough to please a vegan, vegetarian, and meat eater all sharing food so you can’t go wrong. The Korean tofu and croquettes were our favorites and drinks were yummy too!
