Very nice tea with mom and daughter, service was attentive, less so when it got busier. China was beautiful, and the food was delicious. It was fun to wear a hat and get into the atmosphere of teatime. Will go back.

Food was outstanding. The seared snapper was the best we’ve had. Everything we ordered was perfect. Service was spot on. We’ll be going back.

Bravo!! What a way to elevate and highlight how truly incredible Indian food is. If anyone wants a true introduction to Indian food or wants to reignite the love for Indian food, highly recommend taking journey with the tasting menu. Great service and lovely decor. Ronaldo was awesome, guiding me through a 3 hours journey while I enjoyed every item off 12 course Tasting menu.

Excellent wine menu at all price levels and wonderful service. The charcuterie board was a great starter for the table; carpaccio tender and flavorful. The birthday girl at our table didn't like one of the dishes she ordered (gnocchi with rabbit confit) and the treasure of a waiter comped it! We have and will continue to frequent B19.
