WOW! I was truly impressed by the food, the incredible flavors, and the overall dining experience. They were kind enough to accommodate me with a last-minute reservation, and the service was excellent. All food flavors were excellent and exceeded my expectations. The only detail that could be improved was at the very end, when the bill was brought to our table without us requesting it, even though the restaurant was still very busy with plenty of guests. I believe there was an opportunity to provide more attentive service, perhaps offering another drink, dessert, or simply allowing us to enjoy the experience a little longer. Aside from that, everything was absolutely outstanding. 100/100! I would definitely return!

Overall, had a wonderful meal. But we had an issue when we were originally seated. We requested a booth, but were told by the hostess that a booth was not available, even though we could see at least four booths available. The manager, Michelle Ley, handled the situation beautifully and moved us from the bar to one of the booths in the di ing room. Then, we had a wonderful dinner. The Ceasar salad, pear salad and pizza appetizers were excellent. The branzino was a bit fussy, but it tasted good.

We’ve been coming here for years and we always love it. Great drinks (and beer selection). Friendly people, so accommodating. Salads are great, the pork belly is so delicious and the buffalo cauliflower makes me wonder why I get chicken ever.

    Josiah is a terrific server—knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The Chinese chicken salad is the best—delicious and huge.
