Parfait endroit pour une date ou pour une soirée entre amis, la nourriture était bonne & il y avait une bonne ambiance, pas trop loud. Nous étions 4 & nous avons réservés d'avance mais il semblait avoir un bon roulement pour les personnes qui arrivaient en walk-in. Le service était parfait.
reliable spot for a little fancy date or cocktails with friends! really enjoyed the viqctoria cocktail, tofu & kimchi dumplings, & fried brussels sprouts. the dumpling filling might have benefited from a little more kimchi & seasoning but they were still really delicious. the brussels sprouts were incredible, although i recommend sharing them, they're very filling & rich (yay!).
the location is beautiful, even some of the indoor seating has an outdoor/terrasse feeling to it because of how open the space is + the glass & plants along the ceiling. having been here several times, the service is typically friendly enough, but can sometimes be a little overwhelming (they clear plates & glasses very quickly, sometimes before everything in them is gone).
highly recommend, but be sure to make a reservation or arrive early, it's a popular joint for a reason :))
Friendly service & beautiful ambiance. We ate well, had a few drinks & stayed longer than expected as we did not feel rushed. Arrived at about 5:30, we were maybe 3-4 people there in total & it quickly got full, lights were dimmed & the atmosphere was conducive to a great evening. I recommend for simple, easy date or even with several friends.
Je n'y étais jamais allée mais wow vraiment une belle place, la musique,l'ambiance, la vue ! Il y a des options véganes au menu (menu de bar pas plate, malgré la photo des frites & des olives il y a bcp d'autres choses !) vraiment la meilleure place pour une date. Leur bière sûre était délicieuse 💛
Great date spot, dumplings are more European than Chinese so try different sauces. Wine, cocktail & beer selection is on point. Patio is nice but the open air corner tables inside can't be beat.
Excellent food & cocktails offered up on a cozy & laid-back rooftop. Definitely a unique menu with an assortment of small dishes & imaginative dumplings. The few dishes we ordered tasted great & I'll definitely come back to try more! Cocktails are well made & everything is reasonably priced. Service is friendly & accommodating. Amazing spot for a date or to catch up with friends, great vibes all around! Highly, highly recommend!
Good place to talk about love, life, & F1. Went here on a date once & all he could talk about was F1. I don't understand the obsession with F1 like I've tried so hard I don't get it like & it was actually crazy he talked about F1 the entire time I don't understand how someone can have such little self awareness anyways good cocktails I got tipsy enough to tolerate the conversation so there's that
