    Beautiful decor, ambiance, food, and drinks. Great for photo ops. The service was OK. They did accommodate us for a birthday dinner. The waiter was pretentious and seemed to have had had a bit of an attitude, but overall everything was great. Food was great; could’ve used a bit more spice to all meals. Drinks were well made, and the experience was amazing! Menu items we had: Peking duck x2 and Chicken Makhani (no spice). Drinks: FLOR DE FUEGO (Mezcal) very smoky but enjoyable. 8/10 Prosecco (Sparkling Wine) 10/10 FIG OLD FASHIONED (bourbon) Very cinnamon forward. 2/10 Birthday dessert : SALTED CARAMEL OPERA 10/10 would come back just for this!!
