Our service was amazing! The food cocktails and mocktails were delicious! It’s a beautiful room, it had an amazing vibe that felt like it was a lounge in Tokyo.

Great daquiris, and the bartender kindly accommodated our preferences by making them slightly less sweet. We shared some prawn skewers and chips with dip; both were delicious.
