One of our go-to places. The food is phenomenal. This time I had mussels. They used large west coast mussel with an unlikely combination of white wine, blood orange, green olives, fennel. Pure Genius!!

Great experience and always great food. Extra charges were unexpected but no tip balances it out. We tipped anyway because service was great.

Octopus and tuna appetizers were both very good. The filet of sole in phyllo was rather mediocre and tasted like doughy fish and chips. Service was good and ambiance was very nice.

We had a lovely dining experience here! It's such a lovely setting and the food gave off spring vibes with the flavors, brightness and preparation. The portions were sized perfectly. The cocktails were fun and vivacious (all of their gin cocktails used Beefeater's which is a huge positive for me). Bring your sunglasses as it is a greenhouse. I highly recommend!

I’ve had the pleasure multiple times to visit however accompanying guests whom are Italian changed my experience. The food selection was outstanding, sommelier was spot on with his recommendations as well. Food was exceptional this time. Great seating, could not have been more pleased.

Nice Japanese yakitori bar where you can get decent drinks and yakitoris. I really liked squid ink karage and pork belly yakitori. Considering the price, portion is small here. If u want a place with drinks with small foods, i recommend coming here!
