    We arrived for the happy hour menu. Very good food and the portions allowed us to combine a few different items and create a main course. The ambience is very elegant without requiring one to be well versed in the art of fine dining establishment decorum. Service was attentive, never lacking, personable but not overwhelming. A nice touch was the manager introducing us and engaging our party. Definately will go back. Well worth the visit.

    This was an exceptional culinary experience with fantastic food and knowledgeable staff. The sea bream custard was eye-rolling good, and Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever eaten. Salmon Oshi was spectacular and even though we were full, we just had to order more! Manager Mikee and server Simone perfectly rounded off the experience for us.
