I thought the flavors from certain dishes did not go well kiwi the eggs with sturgeon and caviar was off. Also, the brick toast with sides of spread was not good. Event the fried chicken toast was weird. Heavily buttered and has a bbq sauce on top that did not taste good. These dishes could use less complex mixture of ingredients. I’m sure people love them though, just not for me. The service was exceptional! Really friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Ordered lobster and received a tiny lobster tail that tasted badly. The chicken was delicious and service was good. Considering the price point and beautiful location I was expecting more than a well cooked chicken. Don’t understand how they received a Michelin star.

We had the burger and fried chicken sandwich though the portion sizes felt small given the prices.Nevertheless, both were tasty. Do try the cocktails. The Bloody Mary came with some dehydrated tomatoes which was reallyinteresting and delicious. This place is nice though on the pricey side take note of the 19% service charge which does notinclude gratuity.
