A bite-sized masterpiece: seared Tellicherry pepper-crusted tenderloin, finished with a chimichurri pipette—because great flavor deserves a grand entrance.

Behind every show-stopping dish is a chef with vision, precision, and an endless pursuit of perfection, like our Asian Lobster Salad with sesame and ginger, vegetable salad, wasabi, wonton ribbons.

A well-composed cocktail hour is more than a moment—it’s an experience. The harmony of live music, elegantly crafted bites, and seamless service creates an ambiance where guests can savor, connect and celebrate.
