    We went to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. We waited extra time for our table, and then the waiter didn’t take our order for something like 10 minutes. He then lost our appetizer order and the whole dinner was served as slow as molasses. The food was lovely but we cannot understand while the service was so slow and choppy. We were a bit disappointed overall.

    During my second visit to this store, my guest and I ordered the same dishes from our first visit. We were very surprised by the portion size per order during our second visit. For instance, during my first visit, I received three scoops of sorbet. The salmon sashimi, and broccolini appetizers were easily shared by two patrons. To be fair, the food is good.
