    Wow, what a beautiful restaurant! Crystal chandeliers creatively mixed with true plants flowing from the top, blue and green color velvet seats. The entrés, mains and desserts all tasted great, although the potato-mochi was more like potato and no mochi. We'll come back to try other dishes!

    Wonderful experience this evening! We started with cocktails - all with interesting names and interesting flavours. The newspaper garnish was so fun! We enjoyed the oysters - so fresh and flavourful - and the whipped brie to start. We ordered mussels, lobster risotto, short rib and chicken supreme as our mains. All very different, but delicious! Seasoned and cooked to perfection. We finished with dessert and the bartender indulged me with a blueberry tea. We will be back and would not hesitate to recommend to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
