    Overall experience was superb for Valentine’s Day. We tried to get a little bit of everything but the ribeye was top notch! Please ask for the chimichuri on the side. The buffalo cauliflower was cooked and battered to perfection and not soggy. The Korean wings had a great sauce to it, and the garlic bread was great as well. Food was hot & fresh on arrival ending with 2 big slices of strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting. Ask for Ken (kenneth) he was a great vibe of a waiter!

    We came to this place under the premise that the food was outstanding based on the Michelin rating and social media touting that the food was comparably to that in Thailand…..this was the reason we booked. The service was lovely, everyone friendly and attentive which is always appreciated. The shrimp pancake appetizer was an interactive delicious experience. The rose quartz drink I had done virgin and enjoyed. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious, noodles done well, very tasty. The Wagyu pho was recommended and underwhelming honestly. We enjoyed both of the desserts we ordered, the crème brûlée and mango ice cream served with sticky rice….this was a highlight for us. Would I say Value….Probably Not.

    The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
