All in all it was a good/ok experience. For the price we paid and all it was absolutely worth it. But I have to say that we didn’t feel to welcomed at first. We were a little early and nobody was in the restaurant and they didn’t let us sit on the table. So we waited outside. So far so good. The food was good, only my husband had some piece of paper on his plate. But I have to say that this can Happen (we are all humans) and they immediately apologized and didn’t charge it and gave us a dessert for free on top. Thank you for that customer service. Our waiter was nice and polite.

Outstanding service from the moment we walked in. Juan took very good care of us! We selected the celestial menu for our group of 10 with wine pairing. Impressive, creative cocktails and garnishes. Food was skillfully prepared and presented, a feast for the eyes and tummy! Highly recommend

We did the Theatre menu with cocktail pairing and had a delicious meal for two. The cocktails were also excellent. Our server, Grace, took extra care to ensure our food restrictions were accommodated, and that we finished dinner in time to make our show. I can’t say enough good things about the service team and food. 5/5

They were not ready to seat us and seemed surprised by the size of the party despite having a reservation that clearly indicated it was for 9 people. The entrees took a very long time to come from the kitchen and we received 2 sides of potatoes complements of the house for our wait. Overall the food was very tasty and inventive. It was a very loud environment.
