    Food was absolutely delicious! We had the spicy Cesar salad, meatballs, black truffle pasta and lobster pasta. All were unique and quality was top notch. I would recommend and return!

    All of the food and drink were stellar, but the Honey I Deep Fried the Brussels was the single best appetizer I have had at any restaurant, anywhere in the world, ever. Highly recommend the espresso as well, and I want to highlight the lemonade, because it’s really nice to have a non-alcoholic option that’s made in-house and still feels special, and beyond that it was also really good.
