    A Must-Visit Gem with Outstanding Service From the moment we walked in, Vasko and Bret made us feel at home with their warm hospitality and exceptional service. Their attention to detail and genuine care for guests truly set this place apart. Every dish exceeded expectations—perfectly balanced flavours and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the gyoza, roasted Brussels sprouts, fig pizza, and spicy rigatoni pasta, each offering its own standout flavors. The Brussels sprouts had a perfect crispy texture with a delicious drizzle, and the spicy rigatoni delivered just the right kick. This restaurant is an absolute gem in the community, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Looking forward to our next visit!
