    A perfect choice for our 41st Anniversary lunch! Excellent and creative Asian fusion meals, with a focus on seafood for many choices, very pleasant people, attentive service and a thoughtful wine list with a well-chilled Sancerre (which has unfortunately become something of a cliche choice but remains a perfect wine for seafood). The addition of lunch seating perfectly suits our schedules and has never failed to please!

    I was with my granddaughter celebrating her birthday. With the help of our friendly waitstaff Samuel, we chose the Crab Tostones as our appetizer with mock cocktails adorably decorated with paper umbrellas. We chose the short rib and pork belly entrees which we shared loved.

    The cocktails were tasty but nothing too special and not very strong. The dumpling special was great. The tuna appetizer tasted a little fishy and not very fresh. The yellow curry noodles were AMAZING. The short rib was good but not our favorite. Overall everything was pretty good and the restaurant was cool!
