We went at around 5pm before a show and it was dead at that point, we were the only ones there! We noticed that it normally gets busy later at night, but with how empty it was it definitely wasn’t a representation of this places service and food! We had the sweetest server and we will definitely be back!

I like the decoration and atmosphere. I can also tell that the restaurant put a lot of thoughts into the food as the food combination is very creative. I would probably rate the restaurant 4.5 instead of 5 because 1. we asked for grilled medium rare wagyu but it came out to be almost well done. Plus the meat doesn't really taste like wagyu, so I'm guessing it's probably american wagyu. 2. the lobster fried rice has too little lobsters in it.
