We come at least quarterly to the restaurant. We had a Prime Rib order that was overdone. The GM recognized and rectified it right away. Always a solid experience

First time dining here. Came for brunch with a friend. We both enjoyed the food, especially the cherry blossom pop tart. Our server Brendan was attentive and friendly and didn’t rush us with the check, which was very much appreciated. It allowed us time to chat and catch up.
