Value 5/5
A mix of latin, mediterranean, western and asian cuisine
Went with group of friends before heading to Armin show last thursday night, called for a 9pm reservation just in case it was busy only to find the place abour 3/4 full.
Externally the place looks dull, reminds me of old 70's houses but as soon you enter it's totally different, my friends and I felt a little out of place wearing jeans and sweater when the other costumers were wearing kakhis and dresses.
We ordered a bottle of white wine for starter and they gave us free complimentary "hummus & olives" and the naan bread was one of the best we've ever had.
We also ordered tempura lobsters and I had 2 oyster shots which was a little disappointing as it didn't taste fresh at all.
Our main courses were the Surf and Turf, Chilli Tagliatelle and the Pork Tenderloin, portion wise they looked small but we were full at the end of our meal.
I ordered panna cotta for dessert and we all just shared it.
All in all, food was great although a little pricey
The atmosphere was perfect, dim enough, confy seats, great decorations.
Perfect for dates and anniversaries.
My only complain is that there was no music playing on the background so you could hear people chattering all the time
Party of 4, total: $238.45
