The food was fantastic. The bartender was terrific. It felt a bit strange since the other guests around us seemed to be receiving more explanation about the menu, but overall the food was creative and delicious.

Food is amazing. We had the sea bass and some incredible sushi rolls. Cocktails were also delicious. The only negative is the booths are not great for your back as they offer no lumbar support at all. Everything else was fantastic.
