    Food and server were top notch. However, I had to ask to be reseated twice because we were sat next to small kids twice. And the crowd was all wearing track suits and bridge/tunnel it seemed.

    Only had drinks and appetizers but everything was fantastic. The Peking duck spring rolls wee incredible. Santiago helped us pick three appetizers and he did not disappoint. Santiago made sure we always had water and that our table was very clean. Service was spectacular, we will definitely return and try more menu items.

    Our server was lovely. All of the service definitely treated as well and felt very inviting. I honestly was just confused by the layout. It didn’t really seem like there was a certain vibe or theme in the restaurant as a whole and it felt pretty divided. Lots of potential or maybe I just went on a off night. I don’t know.

    The space feels like a club not a restaurant. The food was pretty bad and therefore hugely overpriced. Gratuity of 20% was automatically included so watch out.
