First visit and already five stars all around. Amazing food, great ambiance, and excellent service! The place had a great vibe and relaxing. William our waiter he was top notch - he was attentive and provided excellent service through the night. All the food we ordered were unique, delicious, fresh and best part - they were all shareable. We had an opportunity to try everything we ordered. Unforgettable and highly recommend. Definitely worth checking out!

Entered from Stephen Ave and were seated in the basement( which I think is the place to be). The basement feels like you've stepped into another era with a strong mid-century vibe: geometric carpets, globe lighting, and exposed stone foundation walls where plaster has been peeled back. The couch seating was incredibly comfortable and the fabrics & carpeting keep the room quiet, so you can actually enjoy a conversation. With no windows, it feels like a cozy little world for the evening, helped by the low lighting and table lamps. The food was good, portions are small, so ordering several dishes to share works well, and there were some gluten-free options. Service was friendly and attentive

A fun night in the basement taking in those 60’s vibes. We did a 3 course set menu and wine pairing. We very much enjoyed the food and drinks. William was friendly and an excellent server.

Very intimate vibes here. We came in for a late night snack & night cap and loved it! We got the tuna carpaccio which was was presented so uniquely on the plate! The drinks were okay - definitely unique but not as tasty as we expected.
