    Highly recommended Wren, we came for a pre-concert dinner and our waiter asked us first thing if we were going to a concert as to be cognizant of our time line. We ordered several shareable dishes that were excellent, the Brussel sprouts were amazing as was the Waygu fried rice, sushi, tempura mushrooms, chicken and short rib! We loved everything! Drinks were delicious as well as beautiful, and enjoyed it all while overlooking the night view! Be sure to ask for a window table! Looking forward to going back!

    There is no lunch menu. It is brunch (breakfasty items you can elevate to lunch). Food d was taaty but menu small. Waitstaff do not check inon you soon enough (3rd time there, same experience: waitstaff are alao bartender ao they are mixing drinks while you wait for them to show up to aak for ketchup!) Good location, good food, will go again because it is convenient to UMD. Hope they retrain staff to visit table often.
