Christian was our waiter and was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. He made suggestions through each part of the menu, and we went with several of them - yellowtail and crispy rice as an app is a must, and the Chilean sea bass entree was amazing. His service made a good meal great. The food and cocktails were very enjoyable across the board. My father-in-law even identified the side of stir fry veggies as a standout despite he and my husband being mostly steak and potato guys. We’ll definitely be back!

This time, was far below average. Oysters were good. Yellow tail sticky rice was terrible. Our salad was wilted and bland. We were quite rushed also. Salad, oysters and appetizer all came out together. Overall a poor experience.

We were a group of 8 and they tried to seat us at a table for 4-6. We asked for an additional table and were told it was not available. When I talked to the manager and let him know that we were considering leaving as we could not comfortably eat at a table that could only fit our bread plate, they magically found another table. They dragged the table in and then left us to move the tables and rearrange the place settings - without even an apology. Truly service is dead. The food was very mediocre for this kind of experience.
