Experience was lovely; however, I was disappointed with the Japanese station. Salmon was very dry and overcooked. I would have expected a better selection of dumplings.

We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary! The service was outstanding! Our waiter, Isiah, the bar manager, Justin and the manager Anastasia made us feel so welcome and we even got a glass Prosecco on the house to celebrate. We ordered the pre-theater menu because we were seeing a musical close and didn’t want to rush. Overall an excellent choice!

Wonderful place for birthday date night. Staff was very attentive and everything we tried was delicious. Doandy was our server and he did a great job. Muhamara with warm pita was yummy, and the butternut fatoush salad was very good and a generous portion. We had to try the pistachio ravioli paired with mushroom skewers, amazing! And they surprised us with a complementary birthday treat at the end of our meal.
