Totally fantastic experience. The food was top notch and the service was well paced, not rushed. The vibe was very comfortable. Nice place. We’ll be back for another date night!

I’d sum it up with good not great. Our dinner for 4 was just over $1000, we had a round of cocktails and $200 of wine. So expect to pony up some cash if you want to try it out. It also took 3.5 hours. The menu is a choose your own adventure in which diners can each pick 4 dishes and they provide mezze and dessert.
