The experience we had in this place was truly wonderful. Not only food and the view were outstanding - a huge part of that was thanks to Marta, our waitress. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Her warm personality made us feel truly welcome, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect throughout our visit. I truly recommend this place and wish everyone such an excellent service as we had with Marta

We had a lovely experience here. We tried homemade red wine, hot kutchumachi, chicken shqmeruli and sokol kecze. These Georgian dishes were made to perfection
