    What an amazing experience. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff was attentive, the host even remembered it was my brother-in-law's birthday as we were leaving. The food was delicious, very unique flavor combinations, sharable portions that were not overwhelming but also not too small. We all loved everything we ordered and will be talking about it for quite some time. My only regret was that we were too full to try a dessert. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but I don't typically eat meat and was surprised how much I enjoyed tasting the pork shank and even the goat curry.
