Our server Adam was hospitable, attentive and friendly. He definitely elevated our experience tonight. The lychee martini was the best in the city. We shared oysters, beef tartare, kobe steak, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, which were all of high quality & tasted excellent. What a vibe! We will definitely be back.

The restaurant is beautiful the vibe is nice but the service was terrible ! It took so long for the waiter to take our order. The food was okay it was not horrible but it was okay however the waiter forgot an order there was a hair in someone’s drink ! And the washrooms are very small you can’t even move an inch inside them ! I would say train your staff more and work on customer service skills you always want to leave your customers satisfied so they come back .

Good vibes, i think you pay more for the ambiance and setting rather than the food! Food was still decently good but not worth the price !

We were waiting for a steak over an hour… 😒 all of the other tables who came after us were served but we sat there from 9:45 to 1am because our food wasn’t served. I was super upset

We went for dinner, I had the spicy vodka rigatoni and my husband had the wagyu and veal bolognese. They were both very tasty, we thoroughly enjoyed our food and experience. Besides the food being great, the service was superb. Our server Neha definitely elevated our experience. She was very kind, friendly and informative, she always made sure to check on us often enough and ensured we had everything we needed. Overall we had a fantastic dining experience and would definitely return and recommend! Also the milk and honey baklava is a MUST try!

We tried the Winterlicious menu but also added the shrimp cocktail. I’ve never seen shrimp this large before. They were almost the same size a lobster tail. The Mediterranean salad was quite substantial. The chicken was cooked perfectly although I wish they included some veggies with it and the sorbet was refreshing. My friend had the Tiramisu which he loved. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We both loved the small layout of this place and the open kitchen concept. Ambience was very nice. We will return as we were both eyeing the Warm Seafood Tower on their regular menu. Yum yum!

Really cool vibe inside. Small but stimulating. Great music. They had an DJ bumping afro house. Seems to be the common theme now. Open concept kitchen so be ready to have your clothes smell like cooking. Service was great. Everyone was very friendly and on it. Was it worth the wait? Indifferent. We started with the oysters and Himachi crudo. Very nice. Fresh For dinner we shared the Wagyu bolognese and Rigatoni vodka. The thick noodle on the Bolognese was a little weird texture wise but the flavour was unreal. On the entree side you can decide to have half or full portions lole your fish or chicken. Cocktails were phenomenal. The bartenders were great. I’d definitely come back.
