I hosted my company Xmas dinner here last night for my employees. Glad they were able to accommodate all 12 of us. We did the Tasting Menu Iv. It was enough food/portions to go around for all of us the staff was amazing & they catered to us. More importantly the food was on point. I’ve been here multiple times but this time my employees got to experience & enjoy this top notch dinner.

We had a lovely and lively dinner last night. The place was packed and had a vibrant energy level. The appetizers were delicious, the spicy feta, artichokes, tuna carpaccio and mushroom flatbread were so flavorful. We had the lamb and salmon for dinner as well. Will definitely return here!
