    My partner and I dined here for Valentines Day, and we were very happy with the experience. The staff was so polite and considerate and I could tell they were very busy. They still made time for us to feel special. We sat at the bar as we waited for our table, and the bar staff even brought us our check without having to ask for it. The waitress was Fantastic and made amazing recommendations. And the food was top notch’s. Such a lovely evening and thank you for creating such a memorable experience.

    We went on Valentine’s Day, so it was very busy, but service was still pretty decent! A great place to o shareable small plates- especially the risotto tater tots! Expensive, but not the priciest thing in WeHa. Overall delicious food and a delightful evening.

    Had the best Valentine’s Day dinner here. The chocolate brioche bread was delicious. We also received a complimentary cauliflower soup shooter which had excellent flavor. For appetizers we got the yellowtail tartare, which was fresh, and potato and blue cheese flatbread with bacon and onion, which was well balanced. For dinner, I got the scallops with green onion risotto and my fiancé got the short rib. We both cleaned our plates, which is rare for me. In addition to this wonderful meal was equally wonderful service. Our server was so personable and made some much appreciated recommendations as first timers. Will definitely be eating here again!
