Haven't had a main meal here yet. Outdoor area is very cool and they do the best edamame. Great selection of wines, cocktails are delicious and the service is always very good.
Had dinner here on a Saturday night, the service was good but the ambience was average. They have crammed too many tables in, it was almost tacky. The food was delicious though, and the pork meal was some of the best I've had in a long time. We ordered a side of vegetables- bok choy which was almost gross, under seasoned and overead morer cooked, for the price I wouldnt return for a meal. I do enjoy it as a nice cocktail bar though and the outdoor seating is great show less
Visited twice with my wife and friends....excellent food, service and ambience. First time we visited we saw the Ancestral 8 treasure duck (for 5) on the menu, and that you need to order 3 or 4 days before for this to be prepared for your meal. We were intrigued and ordered this for the next week. I highly recommend this delicioread moreus dish as part of the overall dining experience! show less
