  • birthday dinner, party of 12
    I had a 12-person birthday dinner for my significant other. She loved everything about it. The service was impeccable & the food was just top notch. I highly recommend this place. It is super elegant, and the mood was just perfect. Need to come back for a solo date night with her.
  • wedding celebration lunch
    We came in for lunch for our wedding celebration on a Friday. Benjamin went above and beyond and made our special day even more special. The food , wine, ambiance , and service were superb. Thank you Benjamin and team for everything, we had an amazing time. You made our wedding day perfect.
  • group dinner, party of 5
    Service and atmosphere are outstanding, the food however is not worth the price. Three out of five dishes we had as a group of five in both starter as well as main were rather average. Nothing special in flavor or composition. Not worth the price tag. The menue changes regularly so it might be better other times but when we visited it wasn’t great.
  • large group dinner
    Terrible service for price. Constantly tried upselling even thou people came as a large group and was inappropriate. Stay away - food was at 2 to 3 stars tops.
