Christmas Dinner · 114 guests · December 2025

Very cooperative team. Easy to work with during the planning stage. Our guests were having a good time during the event.

Would be nice if they have spicy dishes and Asian items on the menu.

Christmas Party · 60 guests · December 2024

The pork was delicious, the staff were very accomodating and easy to communicate with. The whole night functioned very smoothly and was amazing from top to toe. I could not recommend this function more for a work christmas party!
