    We love this spot. Nestled away from the bustling the airport strip. Highly elevated food and drinks. Had the pork belly appetizer, was enough for my meal. Husband had the duck. Coffee was even great!

    The food is amazing. Service is fantastic. I didn't catch our server's name, but she was wearing a fun shirt that we commented on and was just so great to us. Second birthday night we've celebrated here and we're thinking this is going to become a routine. Fantastic all around
