Regards is a very special spot. It is the right amount of cozy and chic and airy, and intimate. The food is interesting, layers of unique flavours, executed perfectly. Textures and tastes that you don’t find just anywhere and that not just anyone can create. Every time I dine at Regards I am instantly trying to plan my next visit.
