Overall the food was excellent. The presentation was good, taste was good but one thing I didn't expect to see was a $4 transaction fee for Credit Card transactions being charged to the consumer. I didn't expect such a high end restaurant to nickel and dime the consumers for $4 when they are charging a premium for their food to begin with. It's not like it's a casual take out joint where every dollar matters.

Novelty place - Insta worthy. We have been here twice. I guess that's it. Don't get me wrong - food is fairly tasty, service is great, desserts are okay (raw churros both times we have been here), mocktails are innovative - however impossible to keep going back. If you haven't been here, definitely try it once, maybe you will like it more than us.

The four of us had a great time and the food was wonderful. Our waiter, Avin, was patient and equally enjoyable.
