    I went in the evening for a dinner date night. The food and drinks are amazing! The tables were a bit too close to the other party, but aside of that the food was the best, great customer service! I will definitely be going back to check out in the morning!

    The food was incredibly good and my guests were SO impressed with the dishes for being so fresh and tasty! The beer selection is great too along with wine choices. The chef was friendly when we called him over to our table and they decorated the birthday desert with a sparkler. Lastly, the FLAN was the BEST we've ever enjoyed!

    Oh my this was a wow! On a suggestion from multiple clients we had try Kie Gol Lanee. Location great, drinks amazing, food fresh and full of flavor. Really want to go back and try brunch. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. Art, music and the bar all work well in the space. Bathrooms clean too! My only complaint is I have one stomach, because I wanted to eat the whole menu and then some. Yum.
