The food was Excellent. The service was good with the exception of the maitre d' - she was too arrogant

Love the food here!

Celebrated my bday. Definitely worth a visit :)

Food was amazing! The place was packed even on a Monday night. There were very few. Staff members wearing masks which made us very uncomfortable. And it was so noisy it was hard to have a conversation.

the best food and service across the board. cant wait to go back.

Amazing dining experience. Great customer service

Counter seating allowed us to watch the exquisite detail and focus applied to every dish—it was dinner and a show! Absolutely delicious food and fun, knowledgeable service to help us along the journey. More than we often spend but we got far more enjoyment than at other places with similar price point.

Amazing food comes out of this kitchen. This is the kind of restaurant that gives me faith in having a stellar experience dining out.

Super pricey. Food was 3.8 out of 5. Prawns were awesome! Steak is pretty much rare. Our waitress was dressed like she rolled out of bed. For the amount you pay, it is only worth it if you have extra disposable income.. which is rough in today’s economy. Anyways.. I’ve tried it.. and am over it!

The food is exceptional. However, the server tried to upsell aggressively. She indicated that we would need more food, which wasn't true at all. We said that we would just begin with what we ordered (6 appetizers and an entree for 4 people) and then order more if needed. She indicated that the restaurant "does not allow" this; she said that customers must order everything at the start, and one cannot order any more food after that! Considering that many of these are dishes like hummus, this is truly absurd. She was not polite when we suggested that would not work for us to order more and more food at the outset. It's a good thing we didn't, as we had more than enough.
