    Service and ambience were great. Entree NY strip steak a disappointment - very chewy and grisly. However, the short ribs were good.

    Overall, a disappointing visit, reflecting a decline in product quality. Cocktails were tasty and nicely crafted. ALL food items came out quite quickly. Appetizer of short rib eggrolls was not served as hot in the past, with seemingly less cheese and meat than at past visits. Appetizer dates with goat cheese was nicely done. Salmon entree was enjoyed, but the crab cakes were devoid of flavor. The broccolini was beyond charred in some areas, and gave off the smell of a house fire....staff replaced it with asparagus. Dessert of sticky toffee pudding and cinnamon ice cream was tasty and nicely done. Bottled flat water tasted like dirt. In short this visit left much to be both questioned and desired.

    I thought it would be an upscale dining experience. It was more like a sports bar.

    I thought the special I ordered was outstanding. I had everyone at our table try it. It was a Hawaiian fish called hakupu. It was grilled and served on rice. It is a meaty white fish that was seared on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside. Had the short rib egg rolls which were also delicious. We asked a friend who was in from out of town to join us and he was happy with his meal as well.

    Thank you, Paul! We'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our chef about the special, we're glad you enjoyed it! We look forward to serving you again soon.
