Chef Jiho Kim has created a uniquely creative and delicious tasting menu that will wow you with flavor and presentation...from the opening amuse which is three different "sandwiches" in mini-bites to a mostly seafood menu that delivers incredible flavor with finesse and delicacy as well...the staff is incredible and the wine sommelier has put together an intelligent, diverse list with very moderate prices...this is a small 27 seat lounge that feels like an exclusive club...a culinary delight!
