    Couples celebrating honeymoons and birthdays can elevate their visit with decorated tables, fresh roses, and keepsake photos.

    We also paid for the romantic package as it was our honeymoon. We got a nicely decorated table, more privacy, and even a cute polaroid photo and a little bouquet of roses to take with us.

  • Flexible Tapas Portions for Exploration

    Curated small plates allow solo diners and groups alike to tailor portions and sample diverse flavor profiles without excess fullness.

    Enjoyed the food here, and love the portion (which is not big) as I want to taste dishes but don't want to feel stuffed.

  • BBQ Octopus

    I was especially hesitant about the BBQ Octopus because, well... it's octopus. 🐙 But to my surprise, it ended up being my favourite dish of the entire meal.
