Fantastic meal and very friendly professional service. We loved every single dish. Ingredients were clearly top notch. We did the tasting menu and came out full and happy! The scallop dish omg. I want to sleep in that dish. The dessert wow. Honestly everything, so delicious.

Had an amazing time at this delicious discovery! It was a wonderful way to relax, share some great company and enjoy fantastic food. We had the tasting menu (8 courses) and wine pairing (1/2 glass every 2 courses) which was the perfect amount of food after some sightseeing. We loved being able to watch and chat with our chefs. If I didn’t live so far away I’d be back soon!

My boyfriend booked this place for dinner and I have to say it was a very good pick. And I have to say you CANNOT judge a book by its cover. If you’re just looking at the pictures you’re probably thinking: WOW this is a fancy intimate place. But when you walk in there’s loud music playing which TBH was very different but it fit in with the whole atmosphere and reflected the personality of the owner. The food was really good. They have A La Carte menu but they also have a tasting menu (which I would highly recommend - but make sure you’re not rushing to anything like we did because they take their time making the food and plating). I’m assuming their tasting menu changes every once in a while because the introduction of each dish was not scripted at all. Even if you don’t go for the tasting menu you HAVE to order their scallop and PB&J. You’re thinking why PB&J? Because it’s mixed with Foie Gras which brought it to a next level. Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying this place out. And I hope they get more attention. For a place like this to not be booked out on a Sunday night is pretty sad. They should get more attention than this!!!!!

Such a great experience!!! this was my first time dining at a chef’s counter and it completely exceeded my expectations. Watching the chefs in action added a whole new level to the evening. Every dish was thoughtful and beautifully executed. The PB&J foie gras was rich, creative, and surprisingly comforting. The tuna crudo was super fresh, the scallops were perfectly seared, and the white chocolate cheesecake mousse at the end was the perfect light and creamy finish. From start to finish, the meal was a beautiful balance of flavor, technique, and presentation. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and intimate dining experience!

There is no words to describe the food i tasted. I decided to celebrate my 18th yr anniversary with my wife and what a better place to take her but to a place where you can get lost in all of the flavors bursting in your mouth. I will definitely will be coming back. Amazing place . Thank you for making our anniversary extra special. Means the world to us.

If you’re even thinking about trying this place — stop thinking and just GO. This is a full-on experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps around you like a warm, vibrant hug. The staff? Unbelievably welcoming and genuinely excited to guide you through the menu. Now let’s talk food: every dish is a masterpiece. You can taste the love and attention in every bite — bold flavors, perfect textures, and beautiful presentation. Whether you’re on a date, celebrating something big, or just craving something unforgettable, this place hits every mark. Don’t just take my word for it — go see (and taste) for yourself. You’ll be hooked.

Will 110% be back (and soon!). Did the tasting menu and it was exceptional. Each dish was spectacular. Testing menu is the right word because the tastes of these dishes have been perfectly constructed. The team behind the menu has curated a great meal and experience. Perfect for date night or meeting up with a friend to catch up. Also - great wine selection. Glad I found this spot.
