Food was delicious. The garlic rice was one of the top things. Service was a little slow, after each round of ordering it seemed to talk longer and longer to get the food. But everything we had was delicious. Definitely recommend making a reservation because waiting there was a very long wait

I had one of their specials: Halibut with Butternut Squash ravioli. The halibut was done perfectly, but the ravioli was flat, small, and nearly crushed. It was also hard and crispy. I wasn't expecting that. What I was envisioning was the halibut sitting on top of large fully puffed ravioli with a light sauce. I will not be getting that again. If you like butternut squash ravioli, look elsewhere.
