★★★★★ 5.0 Chloe' Leung · Nov 2025

The restaurant is a simple modern style, and the staff are friendly and polite. The chicken is crispy and tender, the pasta is springy and chewy, and the lamb leg is juicy and tender, all perfectly paired with red wine. The desserts are also delicious. Overall, from the meal to the desserts, the experience was romantic and Pleasant.

The Halibut over risotto was very sloppy and mediocre. It was a pricey dish and I complained , and when they asked me what I would like as an exchange, I said, just give me some pasta , garlic and oil since I was very hungry, and I did say I would be still be fine to pay for the original order. But I was surprised that they charged me additionally for just the bowl of pasta and not even try to acknowledge the fact that I did not eat the main meal. Not going back here anytime soon.

I made a reservation at this restaurant a month in advance to celebrate a friend opening her own business. It could not have been a better choice. We had a party of 10 and when we arrived, our table was perfectly set and ready for us. It was my first time there and I was immediately impressed by the atmosphere, the beautiful decor and the great lighting. Our waiter, Atdhe, was absolutely outstanding. He handled our large group with ease, took everyone’s drink and food orders flawlessly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. Atdhe did an amazing job, had so much patience and made the whole experience feel special! I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Looking for a change of pace and came across this Google profile for this restaurant and very pleased. Great atmosphere good service & high quality food They start you with some bread , olives and chickpeas / garbanzo beans that are mashed , a very pleasant accompaniment to the bread. A lot to choose from from the specials and main dishes we decided on ... Lamb Pappardelle , The pasta incredibly fresh the lamb was incredible on a whole other level just a great dish with a little bit of burrata. All in all it was an excellent dish. The other dish we had was the pan seared salmon over risotto. The risotto was probably some of the best that we have ever had in any restaurant It was very well done over a bed of spinach and some prosciutto. We skipped the appetizers and then went for a

I'd go six stars if they let me. Went for Valentine's day dinner with friends. A perfect night down to the littlest detail and all this happening in the face of the place getting slammed. Every dish was perfect and delicious prepared exactly as ordered and delivered with precision. I knew they were good from previous visits but this was the classic trial by fire and they passed with flying colors. Highly recommend!!
