This is the perfect spot for a date night. The food and old fashioned were delicious. The dining area is next to the kitchen, which is an experience I never had. We also got to see Chef Edward Kyun Lee! He created a wonderful menu that I was not expecting. Definitely would recommend this restaurant if you are able to snag a reservation!
