Good service, hard to keep track of who was my actual server but overall it was good. Birthday celebration was never acknowledged like in other restaurants even though it was written on reservation but I don’t think they do anything for celebrations. Would go back for their drinks.

We made the mistake of going on a Sunday evening. After being seated outside we were forgotten. When I went back inside to find our server, we were told that they were out of a number of menu items. We made the best of it and sat riverside with our drinks.

The chicken karaage and the green beans were delicious. The Mac and cheese was an interesting concept on paper but failed on flavor and the texture was just weird. The burger lacked flavor and the brisket egg rolls lacked salt (which may be the issue all around). Just disappointing. If you come here get the classics, they do those well. If it weren’t so expensive I would have just accepted defeat but 20+ for a burger (not including the fries that also lacked salt) that has no flavor? I’m bummed.

A group of 6 of us enjoyed the restaurant and the food but there was one exception. Our entree's did not come out in one batch. Instead they were to the table during a 15 min span from the first meal to the last. All items tasted great and we enjoyed the cocktails as well.
