Special place - feels like you are in a magical cave. Dimmed lights, nice music, great service. Japanese black cod was absolutely delicious. Cocktails looked nice but I didn't like mine as it felt like alcohol quality wasn't at the highest standard. Nice place for a birthday party or to impress your date.

Had such a great experience here, love the interior really feels like you've travelled somewhere else. Great appetizers, good music & an exceptionally knowledgeable bartender Nish, who was incredibly charismatic, courteous, & creative with cocktail recommendations that were tailored to our liking. 10/10 recommend for a cute girls night out, see you again soon!

the service was lowkey outrageous 😅 51$ for 2 drinks (not an issue) that took 30 mins to make (now an issue) , got seated at the bar like i hadn't reserved a table for a reason. never got my entré, like bro, im done with the main dish. (food is pretty good) everything else is great. the music, the atmosphere. but if you are young (18) like me, dont bother, they dont even care about you you'll see it in their faces🤣 Went to get drinks to Marcus after , where my money was worth it!

It was okaay, food was underwhelming, decor was great, service too, music was hit & miss, often too loud for a place where I sit down, cocktails were hit & miss too.

Good atmosphere with a cool vibe & an impressive entrance. Without a reservation we had a 5-10 minute wait. I only got drinks. The service is a quite slow as we had to wait a while to get our orders in & they overcharged me as I got charged for three drinks & only received two due to having no staff to take my order someone else other than a waitress took it. The drinks themselves were pretty good. The DJ is live & music is decent. Overall an okay place to check out.
