The service was top-notch. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The place was gorgeous! We tried the dragon roll, lobster toast, waygu strip steak, mac and cheese, and grilled asparagus for our savory dishes. My only complaint is that the asparagus could have used a touch of salt. That food was great. The serving sizes were perfect. For dessert, we got the cheesecake and the lemon and lime. Both were so good and really fun to eat. We will be back.
