    We went tonight for Thanks giving Eve dinner. The food is hands down one of the best. We had king crab, filet, sea bass, crab cake. Everything was so so so good. On top of that, Josh who helped us through out the night make the whole experience top notch. He is simply wonderful and amazing. I hate writing reviews because I am super lazy. But had to leave this one for both the restaurant and Josh!

    Great place to drink and socialize with friends/family. The spaceship themed ambience was most excellent. Tapas style bites to eat were very good. Will go here again.

    Great service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.
