Great meal and ambiance w show at 9pm and 10pm. Loved Greek salad and Octopus dinner. Would suggest doing shots rather than cocktails as it comes with lively presentation (and the martinis weren't that great). Service was excellent

I don’t know where to start. The entrance is absolutely beautiful, which is just the icing. The aesthetic is amazing from ceiling to floor. The food was outstanding get the Shrimp and king crab appetizers you will not be disappointed. It’s not cheap but well worth every dollar/peso. I’ll be back soon.
