    Vibe always a bit weird here for me. Really loud music. I guess just not my cup of tea. Food is consistently good but not spectacular.

    Really good happy hour, nice atmosphere and attentive service. Took a long time to get our beer, though; it always does ... not sure why. LOVE the appetizer meatballs. The chicken-shrimp lettuce wraps are usually always good, although this time were pretty overcooked. All-in-all a great experience.

    We had the tomato basil bisque, which was more of a thick chunky soup not a bisque consistency. wouldn't recommend or order again. the lemongrass clam chowder was good as was the rainbow roll. the kona stir fry was alright. service was a little slow at times. the carrot cake was delicious! It wasn't as loud as its been in the past so maybe they listened to feedback and turned down the volume so it's not a blaring nightclub.

    I had reservations yesterday at 6:30 PM for my birthday dinner. The waitress was trying her very best since it was her first day of orientation as she told me. But she did have to go and leave the table quite a few times to confirm questions that my party had. There was a lot of things wrong with our food and we had to send a couple things back. The food itself was very mediocre and was not worth the $700 bill. Will never dine here again

    Food was sub par. The chicken was dry. The portions and cost was crazy. $200 for two people is costly. Waiter didn’t get order right, dessert was kid size. Drinks were watered down.
