    We ordered Edamame Dumplings, squash soup, seasonal squash pizza, veggie burger and Korean glass noodle. They’re just ok, nothing really special, plus so oily and salty, I wonder if this restaurant is really healthy. The only thing that’s worth it was the pizza, it was fluffy and freshly baked. If you come here you will get some typical American foods but nothing really healthy and special.

    The food and service was great. Our server was excellent. I think it’s too noisy though. It was difficult to have a conversation

    Always a great place to eat. It's a beautiful setting with consistently good food. We were a party of 8 with 4 kids and the kids cleaned their plates. Thank you for being a terrific spot for our holiday season dinner!

    If you expect to be full after dinner - not going to happen. Went home and had another meal.

    Wait staff was so excellent. Food is always fresh and great - especially seasonal items. The brussel sprouts were amazing. Today I tried the thai noodle bowl with shrimp and it was great. I also love the korean noodle bowl. Also nice wine selection. Love this place!

    It’s always great. I love this restaurant I had something new today, the veggie burger, it was good but not as fabulous as other things I’ve had. Loved the side salad & dressing. Delicious!
