    It was ok, I’ve been here many times before and enjoyed it much more. Service was not great and food didn’t taste as good as it normally does. With that being said I would still come back and give this another chance as this is the only time I’ve been here and haven’t walked out fully satisfied

    Our server, Grey, was absolutely fantastic! We had a dietary restriction due to religion, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was also extremely kind and we just appreciated him so so much. Grey truly make us feel welcomed and we will be coming back for the excellent food and the wonderful service.

    Our server Yossef was nice but failed to bring us our edamame during the first course. When we asked about it he realized it was never brought to the table and told us they had run out but offered a plate of raw cabbage in its place. He also failed to bring us our vegetable sides that were part of meal. When asked he retrieved them but by that point we had finished most of our meal. Lastly, The food quality overall was just ok. The two beef sides brought out were mostly fat and gristle. The shrimp looked like it was past expiration which Yossef did switch out. Unfortunately was disappointed with the overall experience but we made the best of it.

    We didn’t get seated until 20 minutes after our reservation. The service was awful. Our server didn’t even give us all the courses to the meal we ordered, which we discovered after the fact. And he did not provide good table side service
