"Fantastic restaurant. This was our second time dining here and it was just as good, if not better than the previous visit. So many great things on the menu, and the asian fushion really sets it apart from other restaurants here in the city. Great service and really good cocktail menu as well. Definitely one of our new favorite restaurants in the city!"

"This is great for date night or going out with friends. The maitre d made us feel extremely special. We had noted that we had a show to attend after dinner, and the waitstaff and kitchen were very responsive to making sure we had a great experience in a timely fashion. The view out on to Lee Circle is outstanding-a great spot to enjoy some wonderful food and the sunset. The yellowfin tuna appetizer was wonderful and the chocolate molten cake was to die for (I am not even a dessert person....) I definitely recomend this gem!"

"The ambience and food were incredible! This beautiful restaurant will easily be my new favorite once the issues with service are worked out. The salmon appetizer was delicious, as was the scallop entree. I can't tell you about dessert because it was never offered. As a matter of fact, our check was never even presented to us. We had to go to the bar to ask for it. I had one glass of wine and one refill on water. The server lost on that, because I always tip on the entire check, and I would have easily had 3 or 4 glasses of wine if he had just bothered to remember that he was supposed to be waiting on us. Kim at the bar is a wizard when it comes to new and innovative cocktails. The food was worth giving this place another chance!"

"We tried this place for an anniversary dinner. Reservations were easy to make and they called to confirm. The cocktails and food are very good (mixed in a little Vietnamese influence!). The place has potential, but previous reviews state the finesse was not there, and I would have to agree. There were lots of minor mistakes, like soup being served without spoons, meat being served with no knives, all of which you would not expect at a great restaurant. I had mentioned during the reservation about our anniversary, and was not expecting anything special, but a little "congratulations" by the Maitre'd would have been nice."

"Service was good, but food was unremarkable. The salmon appetizer was the best dish we had - it was fresh and presented beautifully. The two mains were prepared well, but boring. The drum with mushroom rissoto left us wishing for something/anything that would have made the dish pop. Same with the scallops and pasta dish. Both dishes just lacked imagination."

"The service was over-the-top and much appreciated. Given the parking arrangements, which are less than transparent, I appreciate the efforts of staff to keep us unbooted. Also: like many restaurants, you have a series of table-for-2. One thing you do right is to have these against a wall or partition, rather then in the middle of the dining floor. Thank you! Another thing you did right was to NOT have them too close together (i.e. 'herb-saint' close ugh). And you didn't seat anyone surrounding us until it got crowded. Thank you again! And the food...whoa, so glad you are in my neighborhood!"
