Strongly recommended! The food is fresh and delicious. We sampled every type of sushi. The server was decent, though it seemed like she didn't put in much effort, possibly because we were a group of six and the gratuity was already included.

We had brunch here during the holidays. Delicious food very well prepared and presented. Friendly attentive service while keeping it casual. The menu is unique and both dishes were very tasty with fresh and unique ingredients. Well done and we will be back. Also you can’t beat the unique space of the honeycomb roof and fire places to keep warm, very sweet.

We ordered Christmas dinner for 5 people from Yellow Door. Pick up was seamless, portions were generous and the food was absolutely delicious. The reheating instructions were flawlessly outlined and all courses turned out perfectly. We doubt we’ll make Christmas dinner again. Compliments to the chef(s)! Thank you for ensuring a stressless Christmas Day!
