   Drinks were good. Food was nothing to write home about. It actually was extremely disappointing for this price point.

   Little overpriced. Even though the menu is "Asian Fusion", they need to get an Asian Chef and really put the "Asian" flavors. The sushi was above average. The wine/sake pairings was below average although one of the sakes was decent. Beware the supplemental charges on the "prix fixe" dinner.

   The duck dinner is always great. We also had some amazing sashimi as well as a tempura fried lobster roll, that was extremely delicious. It was very fried chicken inspired.

   This year's Duck dinner was the best to date! Our server Jessica went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We requested the outdoor seating due to Covid/Flu concerns, but it was way too cold and windy on the patio. An additional portable heater was needed for our table. The Gin Cocktail as well as the Redemption Old Fashioned were amazing!

    The Duck was outstanding; having lived in SE Asia for 35 years, the best we had ever tasted. However, for 5 of us, there was far too much food and the rice was 5 times too much. We can enjoy it afterwards. Cut down the amount and the price.

    The food was good, but not for the prices they charged. The ambience was aggressively hyping themselves as an amazing experience, with the host and the server both asking us if we had ever dined there before and upon hearing this was our first time, saying they were excited for us to experience this. No doubt management has them say this; this isn't a criticism of the staff, who were excellent. Its just too much hype for the actual food. Its good food, but there is food at other places that is better or the same for less money and with less hype around it. The place felt like a restaurant that would have been the bleeding edge of cool 15-20 years ago.

    Food was great! Thoughtful, balanced and unique. However, tables are way too close together. The chairs are ridiculous. Uncomfortable. Too loud to have a decent conversation and kind of rushed.

    We booked for my daughter's birthday and it was the third year in a row we've come for this per her request. We were seated in an alcove between two other tables and didn't even get a glimpse of the beautiful view we came for. Also, no Birthday recognition or dessert offered to her as in years past. Might be time to try another spot next year.

    Not at all what I expected, from the beginning we were walked over to a table that was not ready we were told to head back out front to wait. We were then sat at a table in the corner, the food was good but the drinks were awful! Def not a good experience overall such a huge let down considering what you pay

    Terrible. Just terrible.. Service was around a negative 10. Waitress never checked on us, we had to flag her down for refills even on water. Several other tables got many touch points throughout the evening and we were left in the dust. I even indicated on my reservation it was for my son’s birthday, so a special occasion. Table wasn’t bussed between courses. I can understand if your backed up at the bar but three of us were not drinking alcohol. Not very friendly. Food was of poor quality only to find today that almost everyone had stomach issues. We eat pescatarian so when there are limited options and you are out of Brussels, that sucks. Only partial saving grace was the manager who came over with champagne to apologize but that’s not a good look when not only celebrating a birthday but two years sobriety for the birthday (he’s 28). We typically dine out once a week and eat at great places, we were just at Kaan the week before and every person who walked by our table made a touch point. Service alone there was worth the 1k we spent with our guests. Last time I was at departure the power went out and we had to walk 15 flights down and I had someone asking to write my cc# down to charge me for our drinks (that’s not safe and illegal if it’s not kept in a locked safe). Manager removed 20% off our tab. I believe in good business and would have rather paid the bill because a zero tip speaks for itself. Also we were laughing about how terrible it was only to find out that somebody in our group went to your website to find you charge a 3% service fee for excellent service. That’s crazy especially after my experience the last two times going there have been a literal dumpster fire. #notdoingthisagain

    The food was alright, could have been better. The server was cocky, and rude and was some of the worst service I have encountered. It’s a shame that the bare minimum aspects of customer service were not met. The drinks took a long time to get to our table. The ambiance was the best feature, but as a whole, was not a worthy dining experience. Would definitely not recommend.
