My wife and I had dinner here about a month ago and had a very nice time. Good food, good service, good drinks. We came again tonight with our daughter and had a completely different experience. Aside from the delicious rolls, all the food was either bland, over salted or not edible. My octopus was like rubber, unable to even chew it. The drinks were good and the waitstaff was good. The lounge vibe is nice. We would return for drinks but that’s all.

It was more than disappointing. I had ribs, they were tough and rubbery. My wife's steak was well done and she ordered medium rare. Sent it back and it came back medium. Did not have the time to try a third time. Our server left for the night mid dinner and did not tell us. My wife's wine pour was about 2 oz. at best. Overall it was a huge letdown especially after the rave reviews we read.

Nice evening dinner off the plaza. Tuna tartare was excellent. Our server recommended the filet over the mahi mahi and the wagyu and it too was excellent. Just the right amount of fingerling potatoes. We split a Caesar salad and the portions were split in the kitchen and very generous. My bitter half had the stuffed quail (with pine nuts) and it was outstanding. Wine list is a bit pricy but could an excellent value in a 2021 Penfolds on a seperate card. Would have liked a refill on coffee but a very satisfying meal. Many staff assisted us.
