I had the Asian Chicken Salad - greens/vegetables & dressing were great. I did not care for the egg & the chicken was a little dry.

We took our daughter to celebrate her birthday. This was our first time here. We had an amazing waitress. I wish I remembered her name. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the pork shank. It was cooked to perfection. Our waitress mentioned brunch and we will definitely be back for that

From the moment we walked in, everything about this restaurant was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and the food—absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality, and the menu offered a great variety for all palates. We especially loved the [insert specific dish if desired]—a must-try! This place exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Cocktails were tasty, and they have a good range of choices. We had the Gimlet and the Sun Kissed. The Lasanga, the Pork Shank and the New York Steak were all delicious. There were a few things that could have been better; the steak was cooked more than the requested medium rare, the server placed the bill on the table as soon as we finished our entrees without asking about dessert, and the special occasion we indicated when making the reservation was not acknowledged. All in all a very enjoyable dinner.
