    What a wonderful meal at this restaurant. Our group of 4 decided to order most of the starters and shareables in lieu of main courses and we don’t regret that at all. Korean tacos were the star but you can’t go wrong with the lobster dumplings, Crudo, or Kobe sliders. Top: order a side of truffle fries.

    The staff was so welcoming and professional. The ambiance is incredible, sitting outside you can see the ocean or be in a small garden setting. Every little design detail is perfection. We ordered a smoked cocktail and the way they present it is so unique and fun! The food was delicious and timing and portions were just right. They easily accommodated my dietary restrictions and brought amazing gluten free bread for me. Our group was really happy with everything. Plan extra time for your visit to walk around the grounds as it is unbelievably gorgeous! It is expensive but well worth it for the experience!
