The staff was very friendly and attentive without being over your shoulder the entire time. Jackson gave good honest recommendations on both drinks and apps. The "Sex and the City" roll seemed very popular and almost every table around us ordered one, and it was very good. The Lobster Spring Roll was good, but we asked how many in an order and it was indicated 3, but it was more like a large spring roll cut into thirds. The chicken teriyaki was good but nothing different than any other restaurant. The filet was cooked perfectly and very tender and the potato medallions were exceptional.

We made reservation. We went there on time and the hostess told was to wait got a manager. He wouldn’t accept our reservation. There were several empty seats. He was rude and horrible attitude. Never said sorry. He could have even let us have dinner at the bar even. He was like you made a reservation not too long ago so no. We got full. I showed him other reservations available online he said too bad and he would talk to open table but he doesn’t have time. That’s not how you treat your customer

The food was very good. Our server was the bartender and he was running back-and-forth and was extremely busy. He brought our main dish out before any of our appetizers and we got our salad very last after we finished eating almost like it was a dessert. The salad was wet and watery, and we wanted to solid more than anything . We told him that, but seemed like he didn’t even care. I think overall we had a great experience, but the bartender/server was just a little overwhelmed . He forgot our drinks , our soup and 1-/2 of our food
