The food was absolutely amazing, especially the crab toast, which was perfectly executed and bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who really enhanced the dining experience. The restaurant itself is stunning, with thoughtful details that made the evening feel special. I loved the motivational speeches playing in the bathroom, a unique and inspiring touch to the ambiance.
