As a Kygo fan, I was very impressed by the ambiance and how the restaurant was set up. There was a dj playing chill music which added to the great experience. The espresso martini was amazing which I paired with the rigatoni and that was also delicious.

All the food was top notch - quality, presentation, etc. Service was mediocre for this calibre of restaurant (slow service on drinks, forgot sides). Overall a favorable experience.
