As a Michelin Chef starred restaurant, you expect... and oh boy, did they deliver. Paul, our server, made the evening way and beyond food experience. Don't get us wrong!! Food was absolutely divine! Sommelier Gabriel knows its craft and will suggest great wine and night cap drinks. Oh, their cocktail menu is pretty original, too. Overall, it is one of our best experiences. Beautiful outside patio. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to eat outside. The whole staff is so nice and friendly. We had a great time.

My first time in this restaurant, the food was amazing and so was everything else. My family and I had a great experience with this restaurant. The prices are a little high but overall the food, service and experience was phenomenal. Paul was our server and he was amazing. Thank you!

Loves the tuna pizza!! As someone who doesn’t care for raw anything this was an amazing dish! Loved everything we ate. We tried the scallops, NY steak, duck, Chilean sea bass and sashimi. Everything was amazing!

Paul was amazing! However, I think it is the servers responsibility, especially for a party of three, to let us know that there is an added gratuity on the bill!

The drinks, food, and ambiance were terrific. The service however really lacked. The staff was friendly and nice, but they were not very attentive. We had to wait repeatedly to place drink orders, our food sat at the table for too long after we finished our meals, and the restaurant was not very busy. For a high-quality restaurant, it’s a shame the service lacks so much

Really great tea experience! The whole presentation from the tea to the food was beautiful. Lots of yummy treats that came out 3 separate times. I like that you pay in full online prior to your visit. The only critique I can think of, was at the end of the experience we were asked to pay $10 plus gratuity for a bottle of water. Totaling almost $13. It was just a little weird since the bottle wasn’t actually kept at our table, and it was nothing special just still water. Other than that the experience was great!

Waited over 10 minutes for front desk person to show up. Service was extremely slow from the drinks to the food to the dessert to the postmeal coffee.. Main course served cold. There were staff members available to work as a team to expedite service, but they were more focused on cleaning and setting up tables when the restaurant was only 1/3 capacity. When they deliver food, they do not even take away the use plates and left it on the table.
