    Great service, great restaurant. Only little issue was the rice cake for the salmon was hard and seemed old. Was expecting it to be fluffy rice for a $38 plate. Overall amazing restaurant and service. Would definitely recommend and go back to have dinner again.

    Food quality for the price was not worth it. Vegetable dishes were really great but the ribeye was cooked at medium well at best when we asked for medium rare. Service was rude - checked on us maybe once. Gave us a dessert menu but didn’t come back to ask what we wanted and instead dropped a check instead. We will not be coming back.

    Wonderful location, amazing food, drinks, service. The staff was very accommodating to our two small dogs. They brought out a water bowl for them and prepared some ground beef for them with so seasonings and salt of course. Would recommend this restaurant.
