Reviews
- flamingo_saffronWalked by and saw they had a lunch set, so we popped in to try it. Normally lunch sets at nicer restaurants don't really show you the full picture, so I gave the food 4 stars — everything in the set was solid, nothing mind-blowing but also nothing I could complain about. Gonna come back specifically to order off the menu next time and give it a real go. The service though, honestly really nice. Every single person working that day was polite, attentive, and made us feel comfortable. We came in right when service had just started so it wasn't packed yet, and I walked around the place taking some pics of the decor. Some reviews mentioned the vibe felt dated, but I didn't really see it — I actually liked the style, kinda formal but with a really relaxed, easygoing feel to it. Tables are sectioned off and they have private rooms too. I love reading in hotel lobbies, so next time I might just bring a book, grab a corner spot, and read for a bit after the meal with a drink. Overall really liked it and would definitely come back.
