It was my first visit to Tiamo. Opted for the Valentine’s Day Experience. The chef presented a well thought and executed 4-course dinner menu. The ambiance was oercect fir a dat night setting and the noise levels were moderate, the food was nothing short of brilliance and the portion sizes were on point. The service does need a little more improvement but considering the foot fall, some exceptions can be made. Over all we had an amazing time and went home content! Keep up the good work🙌 and my special compliments to the Chef! Thank you Chef for letting us experience your food.
