What People Say

Guests rave about the innovative multi-course tasting menu, describing each dish as a work of art. The wine pairings are “spot on,” and many highlight the chef’s personal touch and storytelling as a highlight of the evening. Service is described as “flawless” and “warm without being overbearing.” Diners also love the “hidden gem” feel—it’s a spot that feels like a discovery.

Areas for Improvement

Because it’s such a small and curated experience, reservations are essential—and can be hard to come by. It’s not ideal for those in a hurry or looking for a quick bite, and some guests note that the tasting format isn’t for picky eaters. Also, the price point reflects the upscale experience, so it may not suit budget-tight fans.
