Great food - we had wagyu meatballs, mushroom soup, shrimp avocado salad as appetizers & black cod, lobster & shrimp pasta special & organic salmon as entrées. Everything was excellent. We ended with pavlova & key lime pie with Spanish coffee. Busy & noisy restaurant.

A 5* experience! We enjoyed the holiday ambience, so much positive energy, the service was absolutely sublime! We started with oysters and crudo; followed by gluten free penne ala vodka.. This was a very seriously tasty gluten free pasta, strongly recommend.. Branzino was so tender with a crispy skin; there is some elegant lightness to this dish, a must try.. Side grilled mushrooms and broccolini are insane! Thank Zia and the team, Happy Holidays!
