Incredible experience, tons of amazing and rare foods. Chefs tell you all about what you are eating, where it is from, and the food is incredible. Small intimate feel with music makes the atmosphere shine. You are able to watch the chefs prepare the food, and see how much effort and pride they take in preparing the best sushi you could ever have. Expensive, but a treat if you’re able to go.

We were celebrating a late Birthday for my daughter and had a fabulous experience sitting in the bar for dinner and drinks. Matthew and his co-bartenders were efficient and patient and engaging and extremely knowledgeable with the drink selections. They made everybody sitting around us feel welcomed. We had such a lovely evening and enjoyed ourselves very much. The food was outstanding. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you for making our evening so special.

About the restaurant

We believe a dinner over amazing food should be an experience that brings people together. The desire to produce lifelong memories over a meal comprised of locally sourced (when possible) seasonal ingredients coupled with an internationally recognized wine program rarely seen in the US - excites us. These delectable dishes that are meant to be shared with family and friends is the conduit for building fond memories. We long for our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed with a casual-elegance that shines long after the last forkful and interesting sips.

The Paella is amazing. Bursting with flavor. My wife had the trout and manchego mashed potatoes, which looked equally amazing. Don't skip dessert, try the cheesecake or cherry chocolate, both were really good and well presented in an artful way

Second time there. And we sent other people there as well. Food was great. Still have some issues with the hostess both times that I visited for whatever reason, that being said definitely worth a visit they do have some very unique dishes.
