    Eva was a lovely server! As always the food was presented in a timely manner. The quality of ingredients spoke for themselves in taste! It was my first time coming in for lunch service and I enjoyed it. A bit louder than expected but still an enjoyable lunch.

    Beautiful open air island vibe, eating under the banyan tree surrounded by hanging light globes and torches. Every dish was exceptional. Food and wine offerings were thoughtful, accommodating the vegetarians as well as the non-vegetarians. Our server was delightful and attentive. Bravo!

    Love the restaurant option. Would be great if you allowed us to order ala carte. The prefix menu makes us only go there for special occasions The seven dishes of salad is a wonderful experience but I think just three would be good. You lose track with so many choice that taste about the same. The caviar is my favorite. Overall great place for special occasion.
