★★★★☆ · Jun 17, 2025No reply

i was here for an event. the food was surprisingly good especially the dessert, the cream mousse was very thick but smooth. but the wine pairing had a room for improvement. and found the staff actually wasn't taught for how to serve wine (they're students, right?) overall things
