I had high expectations for this place but the food was surprisingly lower quality then I expected… I prices didn’t matter to me because I thought the food was going to be top quality but after trying two different sushi rolls , caviar/truffle pasta I was very disappointed. The pasta tasted like a $10 regular pasta that was $128 because they added caviar& truffles to it. Out of everything we got the ribeye was anct pretty good . Over all the experience was nice but I wouldn’t waste my money on the food again.

My partner and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary together here, and it was an incredible experience. The ambiance was impeccable, our server Ella made us feel so special, and the Ube Crème Brûlée with the Litchi Martini is a MUST! Spectacular food, great music, and an incredible place to celebrate! Will be recommending this place to many friends.
