Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

The food was exceptional. Was so happy with everything we ordered. Cannot wait to come back! Only thing missing was some music downstairs. It was nice that it was quiet but just some light background music would have really made it.
