We had a nice early dinner. Our server Patricio was very attentive. Food was fresh. Ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts as a side at the suggestion of our server. They were outstanding!

Everything here was fantastic. We were visiting from out of town and didn’t have any expectations, but we were blown away. The vibe is trendy, modern and upscale. The service was attentive and friendly. All of the food was so so good. Prices are on the higher side, but everything was absolutely worth it. Some of the highlights were the baked crab hand rolls, the wagyu fried rice and the caviar-uni-toro. This is definitely a meal I’ll remember for a long time.

I really enjoy dining here, however the portions are very small. I ordered the yellowtail carpaccio and it had only 4 slices. Wagyu dumplings are very small and they only give you 3 pieces.

I'm not sure why this place is described as elegant. the waiter could not care any less if he heard us and forgot to take our drink order. but it made sense in the end that he was so sloppy at his job since the top is automatic, with no warning. he made 55$ from me for lousy service

If I could give it zero stars I would. Made a reservation for 7:30 on Valentine's Day, got sat at 8:10pm. It took them over 3.5 hours to serve us with over an hour gap between courses, with the waiter just periodically walking by and pointing at our tables as he walked by! Last time we will come to this place and will not recommend it to anyone! Service and food needs a lot of improvement for what they are charging!

Food was decent. It was more about posting a pretty pic for social media than actual good food. No complaints about service and my drink “old fashioned” was delicious.

We had an overall good experience, I think next time I would like to not sit on the side with the bar. Everything was good with our seating but I think our customer energy is not at the bar side level
