Very good rendition of Vietnamese and French food on the Asian side. Had the pre fixe lunches for $35 @ . Very unique selections served with ice tea, which was very good also. Will go back for dinner soon. A little pricey , but proportions were worth it. A real first class operation!

This was by far one of the best dinner experiences I’ve had dining in Denver. We opted into the family style dinner for our large party and it was worth every penny. Each course was thoughtfully curated and the presentation was the perfect representation of Filipino cuisine. The staff sad thoughtful, timing was perfect, and everyone was friendly and attentive. We came to celebrate my mother’s retirement and this dinner experience felt personal and intimate. My Filipino mother was so impressed and loved every bite. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our night so special. We will be frequent guests ❤️🇵🇭

Exquisite, from our drinks, to each course served family style, to our server it was an exquisite experience for our table of three. Age ranged from a 20, 30 and 50 year olds perspective. Might fast tomorrow just to let my soul absorb all the benefits of a meal prepared with so much love and dedication to craft.
