    Beautiful view, excellent food. And the service was exceptional: we were seated earlier than our reservation with no issue, and our server was warm and attentive to all our needs (including a food allergy requirement). Many thanks to the wonderful staff!

    What a delighted night! My girlfriend and I tried menu #315 with fresh and locally sourced ingredients prepared by Alan, Sarah, and the team, and I felt the warmth and love from every single bite. Ubi and Michael’s fabulous service made the transition between courses seamless. We paired the food with Ume Spritz, inserting an additional layer of refreshing summer to our taste buds. Would definitely come back again!
