The atmosphere, the decor, and the music were all very stylish, but the restaurant needs to follow certain rules. Firstly, some items on the menu cannot be ordered, which is frustrating. Secondly, hot dishes should be brought to the table simultaneously. Thirdly, drinks should be served in glass, not plastic. Fourthly, drinks should be delivered to the table at the same time. Fifthly, white wine and rose should be served chilled, not just in an ice bucket. Sixthly, the staff seemed eager to close up and did not open the doors to cool the room, leaving the guests uncomfortable. Lastly, the wine was drastically overpriced, with the cheapest option at $45 not even available, forcing diners to spend at least $60. The food was good, but only if they can get everything right.

For three people, we shared three appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. We started with mushroom arancini, sweet potato stuffed zucchini flowers (my personal favorite), and a pickled vegetable salad. The flavors were a great combination. For the main courses, I highly recommend the wild mushroom ravioli for its deliciously balanced flavor. My husband loved the black bean "meatballs". For dessert, we shared a pear and almond cake with lavender custard (delicious) and a burnt honey sticky pudding with coconut ice cream (seriously good). And let's not forget about the cocktails. Josh, our bartender, makes amazing drinks with skill and finesse. Special mention to our fantastic waitress, Erin, who provided authentic hospitality throughout the evening. It's evident that this place is run by people with a passion for food. I recommend it to all food enthusiasts, whether carnivores or vegans. I can't wait for my next visit.
