All of the dishes were quite good - but we really enjoyed the pork belly, sea bass, and duck. The surprise dessert was quite lovely. The staff was super knowledgeable and personable. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate.

I went there for my birthday and had a great time. The small bites were great and so was the ambiance. The bathroom was super clean. A little music would’ve really sealed the deal.
