    The restaurant was very welcoming, service excellent, had the tasting menu with 4 choices, was surprised at the number of choices, each had 4 each!! I ate things I never had, omelette with truffle and cheese, stuffed chicken wing stuffed with tasty sausage in Korean sauce, that was fabulous, pierogi in amazing sauce, and dessert was a very light and delicious bun with sea salt and caramel and side of ice cream, what a meal! My husband ate more traditional choices, uni and scallop, Japanese style, smoked trout with morels, beef short rib, and the most amazing carrot cake, perfect and light! Met some sweet couple recently engaged, nice evening!

    Perfect place to share a meal with people who have different dietary restrictions. The menu is well balanced, not too long and not too short, and the variety of options is excellent for everyone at the table. I will definitely come back. The ambiance is quiet and harmonious, perfect for either a work meeting or an informal gathering. The service was also excellent.
