    It was my second time here and I love it ! The place is small but very cozy and pretty, staff is very nice and can recommend you drinks according to your own tastes if you don't know what to go for. The food is good, we tried the hummus and feta dips + balsamic bread and we both enjoyed it very much ! It is definitely a place I will come back to !

    The scallops were cooked perfectly. We got there early and tried a selection of the margaritas. The blood orange and mango were awesome. Max is the GM. He was very friendly and made us feel at home. Definitely recommend the place. We’d go back again for sure.
