We had an amazing time at Koy. It was great ambiance and the drinks were great! We tried a different drink every round and each was amazing. The food was delicious as well. It tasted so different and unique in the best way possible. Shout out to our bartender Vanessa who gave us the best recommendations and awesome service. Hopefully we are able to visit again soon.
