Nice ambience. Small, intimate setting and the DJ played some nice vibes and kept the volume reasonable. The tables with the club chairs are a little bit uncomfortable in that the chairs are too low for the table. The service was ok. Our server did the bare minimum and would often disappear for long stretches of time. Empty plates and glasses would also be left on our table much longer than is appropriate. We had to ask for our table to be cleared. Cocktails were good and the food was good. The crab spring rolls and the desserts were delicious. I would go back, but probably not very soon. If the service is the same next time, we might not give it a third try. For the price point and presentation, service really needs to be much improved.
