The food was very good, as usual. We both had the soup and flatbread combo, and the new cauliflower and cheese soup was outstanding. I would have preferred a different cheese in the mushroom flatbread as the feta overpowered the subtle mushrooms, but overall, very tasty. We will definitely return.

The vibe here is awesome! I started with the shrimp and lobster dumplings, and they were to die for. I also tried the salt and pepper calamari, which was perfectly seasoned and super tasty. For my main course, I had the garlic noodles with prawns, and it was just as delicious. I’ve been here a few times now, and I’ve never left feeling less than satisfied. I’ll definitely be back for more!
