My fiancée’s sister gave rave reviews of this place so we had to come check it out. Everything from the plating to the service to the flavors of the food was impeccable. We shared a ton of different dishes but we will have to come back for the dessert, we were too full for another course. We made a reservation same day and although our reservation was for the chef’s bar we were upgraded to sitting at a table and couldn’t have been happier! We will 100% return in the future.

The food was good, but maybe a bit simple for the price. Protein is not included in most entrees, which makes it more expensive. Portion sizes are smaller than normal. The place is cozy, and the service is good, but we suspect they had some staff shortage issues. The AC didn’t seem to be working as it got quite hot inside.
