    We had a terrible experience here. The service and food have gone down hill. We loved this place for years but the servers and the management were terrible. I waited over 24 min for my meal and had to ask twice. I was told it was coming out and then when I asked again, it was still delayed. The server asked us if had afternoon plans as they pace the course. However, it was not enjoyable watching my husband eat and finish his meal while I waited 25 min. I let the host know and she was condecending and dismissive. The food was also bland. I had the mushrooms and they had no flavor or seasonings. The kimchi salad was also OK. Won’t be going back.

    Wonderful setting, service & food! A water pipe had broken & they had barely any water and you’d have never known as everyone was perfectly professional and everything was running just the same. I will definitely return!
