The ambiance is great. The food are good for sharing, tasty asian foods. What brings us down is the service, it is terrible. We had to seat ourselves, took a while for service comes over and long wait for drinks. It was almost empty when we were there, no service or management around to check on us or offer another rounds. I’m not sure we will be back

We came here as a group of 4 adults and 4 teens not knowing what to expect. It wasn’t very crowded and the menu looked very limited. However, the overall experience ended up being amazing! We had a quiet corner all to ourselves. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The cocktails were fresh and unique (highly recommend The Hermitage). The kids all loved the Yaki Udon bowl. The adults split several tapas, but our overall favorites were the Brussels sprouts and Cauliflower. My favorite was the Portuguese duck rice bowl I ordered. There were so many intricate flavors involved - duck, andouille, apricot jam, and castelvetranos. It was served with fried plantains on the side and a perfectly poached egg on top. So glad we chose to eat here!

We waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive. One of my friends never got his drink and they waited another five minutes to tell him they were actually out of what he wanted. No one even checked on us or apologized for the wait. We ended up leaving after the one drink to eat dinner somewhere else.

This is a new establishment so I understand they're working out some kinks. service was just very bland and kept having to call them over. Cocktails start at $18. I ordered a extra dirty Martini my friend who ordered a regular martini hers came with olives & dirtier than mine. I had already asked the waiter for Olives as well when he sent my drink down. I had gone to the restroom and seen him bring drinks out to a few other tables. At that point I was like wasn't even that fond of how the drink was made so had to come back and take my drink to make it dirtier and put olives in it for me. after that it was ok. However for $18 for 4oz of liquor I want to make sure I like it. I would recommend it for the atmosphere but I'll probably be having my cocktails elsewhere

To die for bao bun, excellent presentation on the cocktails. A bit pricey and the live dj was a bit too loud but very good. Refined tastes only here, otherwise you’ll probably be upset at the prices. Worth the experience.
