    The food was good, but nothing spectacular given the price point. Beautiful restaurant and good drinks. Service was seriously lacking. Our waiter barely talked to us, only interacted with us 3 times. Once to ask if we wanted bottled or tap water, second time to take drinks, and 3 to order food. Otherwise didn’t explain the menu or tell us about any possible specials. Then never checked on us again to even ask if we were happy with the food or if we needed anything. It was very disappointing given the price point and ambiance they are trying to portray.

    Overall, a pleasant experience: Everything was very tasty: the pickled veggies, the chilled veggie rolls and the chicken and cabbage salad (I had added jasmine rice to it). Service was very attentive and friendly. The only thing that caused me stress was the 1 and 3/4 hours seating time limit (for 1-2 people). Therefore, I didn't order any dessert because my time was up. I wasn't told so, but I felt under pressure. That's a pity because I would have liked to try a dessert.

    Not as good as it used to be. Dinner was fine, just nothing special for the price. We ordered a number of small plates and large plates to share, including their market price signature dish and several items that the server described as customer favorites. The food was fine -- nothing wrong with it -- just nothing special or memorable, especially for the price. If you do go here, go on a summer evening and request a seat outdoors. Lovely balcony.

    Plenty of open seating on the veranda but we were placed right next to a party do 4. Literally 2 feet away. We had to ask the hostess for another seat. Server got entree wrong for main course. Had sides before Entree. Server recommended a bottle of wine that wasn’t available. Food was excellent and ambiance was incredible. It just missed the mark on service for a meal experience that was close to $500.

    We found the service staff annoying. The bus men were constantly refilling water glasses a sip at a time, picking up chop sticks that weren’t in use, clearing plates immediately after the last bite, almost before you could put your fork down…I wouldn’t consider this good service as they weren’t paying any attention to us, but kept barging in.

    The food and service were excellent. My wife and I shared two small plates and then had the special fried rice. We left with leftovers.

    Food and table service was very good. However, when entering the two hostesses were so dour and morose that I thought we should be entering a funeral parlor! A smile and a simple “Welcome to….” Isnt such a big ask. First impressions can set the mood.
