    We had a 8pm reservation that we showed up at 7:45pm for. We were not seated until 8:30pm and it felt as though we were forgotten about. Us and another party felt that we should’ve been seated sooner at the time of our reservation. We got seated 30 mins after our reservation and after we placed our drink order and food order the hostess sat another family down at our table. We didn’t leave the restaurant until 1030pm. We were at the restaurant for almost 3 hours due to slow service by the hostess and server.

    Absolutely amazing - not only is the food insanely good and flavorful, but the cocktails are so yummy as well! Everything is incredible, but the steak, shrimp, fried rice, and the blackened ahi are my favorites!!

    お料理は全ておいしかったです。シェフのパフォーマンスも素晴らしかった。ガーリックライスの量が多すぎて食べきれなかったが、テイクアウトさせてくれたので残さずにすみました。
