   Venue situated in the middle of the action in Carmel. Friendly service, clean and welcoming. Seven in our party, nice table, attended to quickly, appetizers (Dumplings were great (spicy but flavorful) Three of us had the Rib eye at $60. were surprised at how small the steak was and the mashed potatoes were a spoonful and bland. The mushrooms and bock Choy was good but poor value for the money. two orders of short ribs - both in the party were disappointed, too much fat and hardly any meat. One filet was unevenly cooked but good and finally one coconut strip dish with two shrimp and two scallops - one scallop was uncooked. I wanted to love this place and there was a huge line outside so possibly we ordered all of the wrong items (except the dumplings, there were great) My two favorite parts: we had the best server and there were free refills on sodas. Not going back, but they don't need my business - they were slammed.

   Elijah was the best server hands down. So attentive and made us feel so special on our anniversary. He’s the best!

   Awful experience do no visit this location they will take a reservation and keep one at the table for over 90 minuets with no food served… then we were told (after asking) that the kitchen was closed and doing a lunch to dinner transition!?! And it would be another 10 minuets before food would start to be cooked!!! Really?!!? Why have us wasting our time over an awful management team. Do not take reservations if you’re not open for business! We were on a short vacation and this literally ruined one night since we left with no food and had to find another restaurant on a busy sunday evening which took another 3 hours! The staff was condescending and arrogantly rude with no honesty or respect for our time!!!

   Sadly did not live up to expectations. The tuna appetizer was not very fresh and lacked flavor. The striped bass was cold and had way too much sauce on it.
