We had a delicious lunch on the patio. We all had the jasmine rice bowls with different proteins. I had the salmon on mine and it was excellent. Veggies were cooked perfectly and the rice was moist and delicious.

Three of us July 4th early supper, our first visit but surely not our last. The service and the ambiance were five stars in quality and care. One of us had the chicken parmigiana (perfectly cooked), another the swordfish (ditto squared), and lastly the lobster risotto (just incredible and beautifully prepared). What a great dessert to find in their homemade pistachio ice cream and chocolate sauce, with delicious double espresso and nicely steeped English tea. Highly recommended. MH

Food exceeded expectations but was also priced to its quality. Restaurant is very loud which may be its vibe but we were hoping for a quieter setting last night. Would recommend and go again.
