It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.

We were celebrating a work anniversary milestone. Staff were wonder, got all our orders correct and the food was delicious. We were 6 of us, everyone ordered a pizza and we got two large salads to share. Salads came out first and we had time to eat them before the pizzas came out. Allergies accommodated perfectly. Thank you for a great lunch experience.
