The food is not bad at all, but I simply do not think it is worth the price that you must pay to have it. I had the tomato and mozzarella salad, which was literally slices of two different tomatoes, with three different mozzarella balls with a salmon on the side for $23. The salmon looked like the ones you buy from Costco and it was a little dry. The three scallops are like $40 and the steak as well. For the price you pay, you do not get a good enough portion or quality of food. The service here was also eh for the kind of restaurant it is. Our server forgot our bread without realizing for a while and our waters were not refilled for a long time (it was not that busy at the restaurant). It was also very chilly indoors, granted, it was hot outside so that’s probably why the fans were on but it was cold. Overall, this place is okay, but if you’re going to spend a lot of money on a meal, I would go elsewhere.

Nice ambience at this place, the food is interesting, sort of Asian fusion. Not mind-blowing food but not bad at all, the kind of place you might take your parents while they’re in town.

Lovely venue with ok service and variable food – given the price point, a pretty disappointing meal.

It was great to go back to an old favorite and have a nice special birthday dinner for grandpa. Everyone was very attentive and the food came out quickly and the drinks were strong.

The restaurant setting, with bar and a separate seating room and outdoor options, is tastefully done.

This was a borderline 3 or 4 stars and I rounded up. The food was good but not great – there were a few little things that if improved would have made it a solid 4 or better. The mains came out tepid when I was dining in a party of 2 – they would have been better hot. The bread (which we were charged for!) did not come out warm either, but it did taste fresh. The mains had high quality ingredients but not the most inspired flavoring (a bit under-seasoned/under-salted). Best parts of the meal were the cheese plate, the espresso martini, and the bread pudding dessert.
