    Loved our hot tub time at the spa but the restaurant was a little disappointing. We were seated in the outdoor pavilion, which was dead quiet and empty by the time our dinner was served. It did seem like there was a little more ambiance inside the restaurant proper. We both ordered the chef’s tasting menu, and our courses did not come out together which was strange. The food was very good but not fabulous despite the prices, although my husband’s sea bass was cooked perfectly and he did really enjoy that! I appreciate that they have vegetarian options.

    Planned a morning at the spa for a private soak/sauna with lunch following. Could not have been more happy with the overall experience. There were 4 in our group and our server recommended 5 dishes and it was perfect! All the flavors were so wonderful and unique. Would highly recommend.

    This place is awesome, from the refined food to the serene atmosphere. The spicy tuna on rice cakes was a standout appetizer. The bento box and bimbimbap were amazing and the prix fixe lunch is a real winner. Can’t wait to come back!

    Celebrated with the prix fixe menu of tuna ceviche, gyoza, sea bass and panna cotta. Sounds simple but each of these dishes, plus husband’s short rib and strawberries and cream dishes, were each outstanding, cooked perfectly and we loved the balance of flavors, presentation, and excellent service. Truly a special meal in an unforgettable setting.
