    Excellent experience! Food was amazing and the service was top notch. From the moment we walked in the door everyone was so nice and welcoming. We were a table of four and shared multiple dishes at the recommendation of our server. Cant wait to go back!

    I was a little disappointed with the food as well as the outcome of my visit. The appetizer was delicious but the pasta wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. The waitress was attentive. The dissatisfaction with my visit was the plastic I found in my food. With grace I let the waitress know and she offered a new meal. At that time I was already done eating. There was no apology from the manager or chef and then still had to pay full price for it. I’m not one to make a stink so because of that I would have had a bit more customer service to make up for this error.

    Menu was innovative and delicious! Service top notch. Only objection was that the kimchi with the tuna was way too spicy hot! We've had kimchi before, but this was something to not touch, or you would not be able to taste the tuna. Our waitress, Janice, had warned us ahead of time, but having had kimchi before, there was no concern. But this kimchi was unbearable! Janice was an outstanding waitress, answering questions and very attentive throughout the meal. She stated she would give the chef our feedback, and we trust that she did. All other dishes were fantastic!

    Hostess is a no. Server accommodated our request to be moved to a better table, very nice. New server was attentive, very nice. SO LOUD. They need some sound boards or something. The food though….value is relative. Some people don’t care as much about flavors, as long as it looks good. Personally, I care. It looks like, and seems like, the food will taste amazing. ABSOLUTELY FLAVORLESS. It’s actually unbelievable. It’s almost an accomplishment, making food so intricate turn out so tasteless. Maybe they’re not salting the pasta water, or seasoning the braising liquid for the beef cheek, or seasoning and searing the cheek first before it braises. Salads are flavorless. Mashed potatoes are flavorless. Pastas are bland. There’s no love here. Very sad and very pricey.

    3 small pieces of tuna seemed somewhat skimpy. They were delicious but I was miffed. We've been here many times and enjoy the restaurant quite a bit. probably should have said something to the server.....
