    We loved each plate and the freshness of ingredients as well as the freshness of the breads. The open style layout of the kitchen makes for a more connecting dining experience and we really appreciate the integrity of the restaurant to keep the space less full of tables and more focused on the overall beauty and ambience as well as quality of food. Totally worth the wait to try!

    Stunning. Great “special occasion” restaurant. Book WAY in advance because it’s reservation only. The bar is open to all.

    Incredible dining experience. Unlike any restaurant I’ve ever been in - just stunning. Our waiter Jamar could not have better - friendly, accommodating, responsive.

    The salmon kabob was our favorite, followed by beef. The chicken was a little dry, but a hit with the kids. The cocktails are excellent and beautifully presented. If you like martinis, I recommend the Juun cocktail. Had a great experience both on date night and with the whole family. Happy to see reservations for 4-5 seemed easier to get than for 2 but it’s fun to sit at the bar for dinner and drinks if just with adults.
