We had a great evening to celebrate my son’s high school graduation together with our delayed anniversary. Baller’s board is the right choice to go with wagu A5 prime steak crab leg which meets everyone’s expectations. The service is top notch as well attends to all the details.

We will definitely come back! Just loved the place! The only thing would be to re-arrange the sweet and savory items better for the afternoon tea.

Service was slow. Service staff not well organized and many looked unprofessional (sloppy). Only one server for the entire room and lots of others just walking around doing nothing. Someone needs to get them organized and at the same level as the food!

The food was excellent and so was the service. We sat at a table where we could view people coming and going from the restroom. It was a high end restaurant but it was worth the price.
