    This place was perfect to celebrate a birthday. Very intimate and unique. Food was amazing! The evening’s special was braised short rib with sticky rice. The liquor menu was extensive. I chose a delicious moscato. A fun part was sitting at a table where the chef surprised us through a hidden window to deliver our food! It was so exciting. We heard a knock and didn’t know what it was until it opened! Pretty neat feature. He also delivered a surprise dessert for the birthday boy!

    Lovely atmosphere and waitstaff. Nice table setting and Yummy beverages. My partner loves oysters and ordered 6 Blue Points as an appetizer. The first was delicious but the second caused my guest to gag and immediately spit it out. It had an unpleasant odor and taste as if it was well past the “best by” date. Some of the others shared the same odor. Her Yum was yucked. We sent them back and with sincere apologies, they came off out bill. My partner’s entree had ziti noodles as a main component. Half tasted like they had barely touched boiling water. We enjoy aldente but many were under done. At the prices charged, we expected better.
