    The food was awesome and service outstanding. Beautifully decorated, and love plants and dim lights in the oasis it makes the perfect atmosphere.

    Food looked a lot better online than what it looked like when it came out, which was a concern considering the price of each item. The staff were really unhelpful when we asked for their suggestions, just kept telling us they'll come back to the table when we've decided, rather than offer us any recommendations. Incorrect drinks kept getting sent to our table too, which is fun maybe once or twice but four times was just annoying. Was super quiet in there and so cramped with too many tables and chairs crammed into such a small space. Not really a great atmosphere. We quickly ate and left to find a drink elsewhere.

    The food here is outstanding. We came as a group of 6 and tried lots of dishes and each was exceptionally tasty and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend

    Absolutely amazing food and service, we will definitely be back! You can tell that the chef puts a load off time and attention into the dishes
