The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers disappointed in the limited Sunday menu and slow service. On the other hand, positive reviews praised the creative and delicious dishes, highlighting the chef's skill with ingredients. Many enjoyed a variety of dishes, from tacos to curry, in a trendy setting. Those with allergies appreciated the attentive service.

A very nice modern fusion restaurant. We ended up with Mexican tacos and a Korean rice bowl. Good food and great service. Good local beer too. #beertraveler

Great natural lighting, friendly staff, and the food was great.

Amazing. The service was fantastic (simon). The food was great. Dessert is a must, the donuts was probably the best donut I have ever had.
