We had a delightful time here! The decor is earthy while being chic. Very comfortable chairs. The menu is interactive! Scan... the QR code. After entering the menu, there are 6 questions that help select the food and cocktail best for you based onayurvedic principles. I have to say that I've been to countless restaurants and I've never seen something this innovative. Soimpressed. This is a great date-night option as the menu is a conversation starter-with depth! The cocktails were delicious. Unfortunately, only one could be converted to a non-alcoholic beverage. The watermelon salad was unique, every flavordelicately complimented the other. Even the color scheme was well balanced! Each of the following dishes provided additionalexamples of tasty harmony. The falafel was unique. I might have described it as a latke had I designed the menu. The hostesswas extremely accommodating as our original reservation was for outside, but decided that eating on the street wouldn't be aspleasant as enjoying the decor. Vegan and vegetarian options galore. Read more
This place was EXCELLENT! From the first step in, to our final bite, we were treated to a gorgeous atmosphere, fantastic... flavors, and a team that seemed to genuinely care about our experience. interior aesthetic - a dark and elegant blend of industrial style and more chic Read more
Fusion indian with a twist of ancient was interesting. We ordered the golden health and panchakarma cocktails and were good. ... Heirloom carrot and squash bisque soups were delicious.The Paneer scamorza; kabob bbq trio was also the same. Finished with amousse cake and creme brulee. Service was also good. We were seated upstairs and more parties were seated there later. Somehowthe music was not flowing upstairs. Read more
We arrived 10 minutes early for our 8pm reservation and was asked to wait while our table was prepared. At 8pm, our table still... wasn’t available. We waited about another 10 minutes before being escorted up the elevator and to our seats. The restaurantitself is really pretty. It was dimly lit, clean, and we were able to sit our party comfortably without being all on top of eachother which we liked. Our server was a man; I didn’t get his name. While he was “nice,” he certainly was not attentiveand did not seem knowledgeable of the menu. He suggested I have a drink with peppercorn despite me specifically saying I don’tlike any spice in my drinks. It took forever for our drinks to make it to the table and none of us had a drink that we actuallyenjoyed. With 14 people someone is bound to pick the winning drink but that wasn’t true for us. There were some people in ourparty who were observing Ramadan and they were using this time to break their fast. Unfortunately, it was after 9pm and ourserver still had not taken orders for our appetizers. At 9:10pm I got up and grabbed our server as he was getting ready to go onthe elevator and I asked when he was going to take our orders. He politely replied, “Oh, I can come now”. He immediatelyfollowed me over to take our orders. We ended up ordering our apps and entrees all at once since it was late and we had onlyplanned for a 8pm-10pm time slot. At 9:30pm (an hour and a half after our reservation) a woman came out and left puff bread onthe table and said “something to munch on while you wait.” She was really sweet but at this point our appetizers were comingout as well so it wasn’t a point of bringing out the bread. The puff bread and condiments were actually really good and it mayhave been ok had it come out earlier, but to have a table sit that long with nothing is ridiculous. At 10pm another woman cameto our table and asked us to “bare with” them. This is something you ask of a guest when they are first seate Read more

The food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and unique. Mushroom & bisque soups were delicious! My boyfriend was a big fan of... BBQ trio, and my salmon was great as well! We finished the dinner with Limoncello cake, definitely a must try! Drinks weregood, some more/less great. ADVICE: please give poor staff a break and hire more people, the lady couldn’t remember drinkswe’ve ordered, and brought it on 4th try. Read more
