East-Meets-West dishes inspired by the rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences.

The menu is continually evolving, reflecting both new inspiration and changing of the seasons. Our restaurant carefully curates spirits, wines, and beverages focusing on interesting flavors and pairings. We hope you'll dine with us soon.

    I ordered beef rice noodles and green papaya salad, packed them up and brought home to heat up, and when I ate it I found something amazing, a piece of blue plastic rubber band! I was very shocked. I am sure it came from the dish itself. This is unbelievable and it definitely does not meet the requirements of food safety. I am very disappointed and dare not choose this restaurant again.

    we went for what we thought was going to be a lovely lunch at Little sister. it was a beautiful day and we sat on the terrace. the decor everything is lovely. we proceeded to sit right under the speakers and we spent 1-1/2 listening to the most awful rap music. Who plays rapp in an upscale asian restaurant? It was disgusting and ruined our lunch. Effing this and Effing that. The manager either needs to manage or if he wasnt' there that day needs to know.
