Restaurant was beautiful. Food was incredible. Wait staff was even more spectacular. Our waiter Danny took amazing care of us. He described all the dishes perfectly, was very knowledgeable about the food, and super attentive. Our glasses were never empty and we were able to have a fantastic dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Sufficient options for gluten free dinners. Very nice server who made very good suggestions for my vegetarian husband. I disliked climbing 2 flights of stairs to leave and I thought the wine was rather overpriced. Nice to have a Chinese food option in that area.

To start the host were very sweet to my family as was our waiter Juan Pablo. But when it came down to the food taste and the selections it was very disappointing and nasty! We always order the King crab legs the baby greens salad and Chicken Jo Lau all three of which weren’t available. The salad and the chicken both were taken from the regular menu. The NEW STYLE of preparing the lobster fried rice was extremely disgusting I was told there’s a new chef and he’s changing things but that should’ve been told to us prior to us ordering what we expected to be the same thing we alway ordered. As crazy as it sounds but I’ve been dining here over 15 years at the uptown location and downtown you’ve disappointed us too many times now that we will never dine there again as the results of food inconsistency and lack of transparency of menu changes!
