    This restaurant far exceeded any expectations I had as it was highly recommended to me. The food was absolutely exceptional. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had and the Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and they treated me so well. The ambience was incredible and I was impressed that the noise levels were not too high in the bar and lounge area and great music choice playing. I would definitely return to this restaurant Other perks: Complimentary valet. Easy to drive to. Modern, open vibe.

    Three of us went for our (very small!) firm holiday party - and it was amazing. I’d say the wine pairing was a bit pricey but the wines were definitely all good and thoughtfully paired with the dishes. You won’t walk away from here saying “I can make this at home”. One of the best tasting menus I’ve had.
