Was a nice time and the food and service was really good. I just wish they let us know the water bottles were $9 each. It is normal to expect that still water is complimentary so this was a weird and unexpected surprise…

Food was average and took far too long to arrive, we were advised, due to a large group upstairs. The calamari was more batter than squid.

Absolutely amazing. My wife and I went in for the shared experience and every course was incredible. The lamb shanks were especially delicious, but there was not a weak moment across the dishes. 5 out of 5 experience.
