Great food and service. My only complaint is the noise. Great resturant for a 1-on-1. Can’t hear anyone at the table beyond that.

It looks like a converted church. I chose a kids plate....but really giant. Water undrinkable due to the taste of chlorine like public piss. Service, to be reviewed.
Kid-friendliness: Yes. It is except for the decidedly abundant quantity of the kids menus.

The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional! Everything, down to the drink names, perfectly complemented the ambiance. This is an absolutely beautiful place to enjoy dinner and great food. The shawarma rolls, pork chops, and Moroccan tagine were all outstanding. If you enjoy sweet and refreshing cocktails, I highly recommend the 'Gotta Have Faith.' Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend visiting this unique spot. It’s truly a must-visit!

It's a really beautiful restaurant by the lake. I felt really under-dressed in my jeans and sneakers. The place just looked so fancy walking in. We got the chicken shawarma, a flatbread, and the paella. The flatbread and the paella were good. Our server wasn't friendly, but that didn't really bother us from having a good night. I'd love to come back for lunch next time.

The atmosphere here is truly breathtaking. The converted church on the lake is a unique and stunning setting. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was trendy and inviting.
We were a large group and everyone was pleased with their meals, except for my vegan dish which was lacking taste. While I appreciate the effort to accommodate this dietary restriction, the Moroccan Tagine, with the vegan modifications, lacked flavor. A simple, dairy-free sauce could have elevated this dish to something truly special. While I realize that I am in the minority looking for a vegan options, I would have expected an establishment like this would have at least one solidly good option.
Oh, one more thing, it is hard to get a reservation - so be prepared to reserve a month in advance and expect only early or late seating options. Also, try to sit in the main dining room it is truly spectacular.

Met a friend for a quick bite on a Tuesday. Have heard this place was amazing and it did not disappoint. We sat in the bar and were taken care of by many of the staff. Wine list is extensive and great selections. Food was really good. The Tellagio pizza was exceptional outstanding.
Will definitely return for cocktails and dinner.

Absolutely beautiful place with amazing views but the food is definitely not my favorite. We were there for Sunday brunch after church. I was way too involved in enjoying the beautiful decor and atmosphere before realizing that the menu is very very selective and I am allergic to 80% of their menu because everything has fish in it.
I did order the shawarma and it was ok but next time we are here,we will definitely come for dinner or for drinks and appetizers only.
Drinks were great and the desserts are delicious.
They also have decent kids menu.
We will definitely give it another try
