    Go to happy hour upstairs, it will set the tone for the rest of the evening, and then enjoy ramen downstairs after. It’s always a vibe!

    Lucked out and came for the first weekend of their Bottomless food and drinks brunch and it was well worth it! Planning to return as soon as I’m back in town. Tried new menu items and loved everything we had. Highly recommend.

    Visited for the all you can eat brunch and welcomed by courteous staff in a beautiful setting. The value is amazing as plenty of food is provided! Next time I will be sure to state which items I do not need/want! Definitely will be back! Only con was a large table for birthday party that impacted the ambience and noise drastically.

    I will definitely be coming here again. Food was tasty, fresh, and well seasoned - like absolutely perfect. My boyfriend has an eating disorder (ARFID) and can really only eat a select few foods - and they were more than accommodating with him!! Really made this a great experience. 10/10 would recommend.

    My wife and I went here for Valentine's day. The food quality was overall very good. The salad we ordered was ok, but the waiter promptly offered a replacement for my wife. The oysters were (in my opinion - over 20 for 6 smaller variety ones) overpriced, but generally I expect that some in a restaurant like this. I do give them good marks for overall experience and ambiance. My wife prefers the high tables in the bar area, but this is no ordinary bar area, there are dedicated wait staff...plenty of them. The service is prompt, but not overbearing. The entrees were quite good, and the dessert special presentation was also on point. I put this in my special occasion category due to the price, but I would not call it outlandish. Really like the bar seating and vibe there...nothing crazy and not overcrowded. The main restaurant is well lit, but some of the seating is a little tight and normal height tables. Service throughout is consistent.
