    The food was perfectly prepared. The ginger dumplings were deliciously seasoned. The elote dip and homemade chips were delightful. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed every dish.

    We love this restaurant. Always been a 10/10. Last night service was slower and not as responsive as usual (checking drinks, checking on food quality, providing and collecting ticket, etc) Not sure if he was over booked. Otherwise food was perfect.

    We made a reservation for two and we were seated right away. I had noted in the booking that it was my husband’s birthday, and both the host and server wished him a happy birthday. We also got a free dessert because of that, very nice! The food was delicious and the server was very friendly. Highly recommend the 3 course meal deal. Thank you for making his birthday special!

    The food is usually good, but last night it was especially good. We typically have the same servers, but last night made a last minute reservation, so had someone different. Chad was fantastic. Friendly, quick, perfectly attentive and kept the water glasses filled. All around great experience for our anniversary.
