    A quick business lunch took almost 2 hours bc there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant. We didn’t even get to order our food until we had been waiting for over 40 mins bc he was swamped. I love the space and the food, but service has to be faster…

    Great ambience and great service. Great place for after work drinks and casual yet high end dinning experience. The cuisine is interesting and food really great.

    First time here. Checked in with hostess. Hostess told us where the restrooms were and sat us at a table near the window, not on the terrace. Still a good view and ambiance. Server came by and introduced herself, walked us through the menu and started our drinks. We were told food comes from 5 different stations. We got our drinks and ordered some food. Overall, we had a good experience. Not everything was perfect, hence a 4 star. There’s also no way to give a 4.5 star.

    I’d give it 10 stars even though there’s only five. Great ambience, fantastic service and food was memorable (especially the spicy tuna crispy rice). Cocktail menu is so fun and delicious as well! Great spot for elevated dining in the city with views

    If I can give them 0 stars I would. Our reservation was at 8:15, they surprising call our name when we went up at 9:05Pm. A couple who was waiting with us were 20 minutes late (7:45pm reservation) and they were seated before us. We watched almost everyone get seated right away, even a few party of twos. If we confirm a reservation, we do expect to be seated within at least 15 mins. Almost an hour is a stretch. If we show up an hour late, you wouldn't take us right? Smh. Ruined a birthday celebration.

    Hip restaurant catering to the younger crowd, nice design, hi volume music. Food wise, it is ok, but not great. Expensive.
