    Experience was fantastic. We had two large party reservations and they were able to seat us all together. Our server was on it all night.

    We were sat right away for our reservation. No one came to the table for 15 minutes. We ordered food and drinks at the same time. Drink came out right before the food. We both had salmon and it was very undercooked. We like our salmon medium and pink. This was nearly raw. My daughter said she liked the rice more than the salmon because it was actually warm. Very disappointing experience. The menu and restaurant seem great…the execution was poor

    We went for breakfast on our anniversary! The staff was so kind, gave us an adorable card and our server offered us free dessert on her! The food was all delicious and the coffee and cocktails were amazing as well! It was super empty right when they opened at 10 but got busier as we were wrapping up around 11
