    Food was good but not worth the price. Nice ambience. Drinks were alright but nothing special.

    Terrible all the way around. We ordered drinks. They took 20 mins to arrive for both rounds. I had to actually walk up to the bar and get the drinks. The burger we ordered medium rare came well - very well. The club soda refill we asked for twice never arrived. The sushi was so lacking that my partner said, “where is the fish in that?!” $280 wasted. Don’t bother with this place. Such a disappointment

    As a family, we celebrated my dad and my brother’s birthdays at 2:30pm when both brunch and dinner were being served. The kids loved the French toast, and the bacon & eggs fish. Adults loved the dinner entrees. Great service and food quality.
