Excellent service (as usual with this restaurant group), friendly, diverse and attentive, open kitchen, great vibe (love the lighting and dress code for the wait staff, and general feel of mutual cooperation that gives a sense of friendliness in the dining experience. I had the Mongolian beef, which was cooked to perfection (with the slight exception of being a bit drunk on an overuse of hoisin). No question this location and concept will do fantastic!

The food was incredible. The service was excellent and I can’t wait to go back. There was one tiny hiccup where it took a little bit longer for the food to come out, but they apologized without us having to even say anything and promptly brought the food out shortly thereafter, and even gave us one of the meals for free. Everybody who we interacted with was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Our server, Nay, had recommended a drink that our whole table ended up ordering and loved. Something tells me I’ll be there at happy hour from 3 to 6 often enough.

The food here is amazing, the vibe is really cool and I love the music selections. Their espresso Martini is delicious and the fried shrimp appetizer was cooked perfectly and super flavorful. The real star of the show is the hospitality, their team is bubbly, engaging and made us feel very welcome.

Our server was superb—attentive, prompt, and he answered all our questions. We shared a California roll, which was good and had real crab, not imitation. My partner had the ribs and I had fried chicken, and we shared entrees with each other. The ribs were the best we had ever had. The chicken was deliciously moist and tender inside, though we wished it had more spice in the coating or else hot honey. The biscuit with the chicken was heavenly! The Mississippi Mud dessert was out of this world, as we love dark chocolate and coffee. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

It was the first weekend they were open and the team worked well together. The bar was a bit backed up when we sat down to dinner to order drinks but our server, Joe, let us know to expect that. Several team members came by our table throughout dinner to see if we needed anything. We thought the food was very good. We had sushi as an appetizer -- it was very fresh. My skirt steak was yummy and my husband enjoyed the pork ribs. The desert was a bit too sweet but we are unusual in that we don't like overly-sweet deserts. What matters to us is the quality of the food and the service and we were very pleased. The ambiance was upscale casual.

The atmosphere was great for date night. The provolone fondue 🫕 was delish. The main course and bar drinks did take a while but was assured by our server and others they were on the way.
