   Poor over cook on steaks. Cook became rude and argumentative when told so. No apology or offer to correct. I'll stick to Shogun on Kearny Villa Road

   Linda was our server and Luis was our chef. They were both amazing and went above and beyond for service. Linda was quick with drinks and getting orders in and Luis provided a wonderful experience. Our kids LOVED everything. THANK YOU Luis & Linda!
