This is my 6th time here Olin the last year and it never disappoints. I was here several weeks ago and much to my delight they have just changed the menu - they do this every 4 months or so. Everything is good but the Biryani is not to be missed

First time Italian cuisine. Wine tasting is a bonus. I learned a lot tonight. First tasting menu I tried ever with different groups of wine pairing on each dish by a certified wine specialist explaining how the pairing works and how they interwined. Thank you.

Very cute spot and staff was friendly and not pushy with the drinks or sitting time. Celebrate my pre-birthday there, a good inspiration for an intimate gathering.
