Easy to make a reservation, right in the heart of Temple Bar, perfect for date nights. Just wave to wait outside till they come get you, then you’re shuffled off to particular floor and table. From there the magic begins, fancy drinks very typical to generational period. Food is off the chains good!! We started with cheese and meat boards, old fashioned and some other frothy drink similar to a pornstar martini… server was so great, kind and attentive. Bar tender served drinks like a maestro… cants wait to go back again!

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the place was cozy and the service was outstanding! Perfect for a special dinner. We went there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and the waiters and waitress were so attentive and made sure it was memorable. Luna was super nice and helpful with her recommendations. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes, they really were absolutely delightful (and so many vegetarian options!). Highly recommend!
