Food: The food's nice, but pricey

The Butter Lettuce and Radicchio Salad is refreshing, while Cannellini Bean Hummus offers a creamy delight. The Australian Lamb Kebab is enjoyable, but be warned—small portions and high prices take a toll, making it seem less enticing despite the decent taste.

  • Great Quality

    The sashimi was fresh and stood out as the dinner's highlight.

  • Okay Creativity

    While elevated, it may not stand out for fans of rich cuisine.

Vibe: Promising ambiance with risks

The ambiance is visually appealing but lacks a memorable experience. It can create an interesting backdrop for a date, though its crowded nature might leave some feeling claustrophobic rather than romantic as they sip on overpriced drinks.

  • Great Aesthetic

    Ambiance is top-notch, highlighted by beautiful, refreshing, and unique features consistently.

  • Okay Drinks

    Drinks are good and tasty, but sometimes overpriced, weak, or flavorless.

Perks: Convenience lost in confusion

Parking is affordably convenient, which is a plus. However, securing a reservation can be a logistical nightmare, and slow service combined with rude staff may sour the visit, detracting from an overall enjoyable dining experience.

  • Great Outdoor

    Patio seating is perfect for summer; it's comfy and intimate as well.

  • Okay for Diets

    Marked gluten-free options are helpful, but overall plant-based choices could increase.
