    This was a great location and atmosphere. We had the cucumber salad which was amazing, panko salmon and furikake fries. The food was amazing. My only complaint was the service. We ordered wine which did not arrive until more than halfway through our dinner. When we were seated, they came to check on us and we said we needed a few minutes with the menu. It was more than 20 minutes before she came back to take our order. Other than that, it was a nice restaurant.

    We had brunch and the place is amazing! The huevos racheros was tasty and has a good spicy kick - ask to make it mild if you don’t like it hot. The host and servers were very accommodating. We got our food quick and they made sure it was to our liking! Great brunch place! Highly recommended!

    We were seated 40 minutes after our reservation time, and then ignored when seated for another 20 minutes. The food was decent, but nothing special. Would 100% rather have eaten anywhere else in the area.

    Food has potential. I ordered a crispy rice salad, it had good ingredients but the dressing was extremely potent. With a strong soy / balsamic intensity. We also ordered a fish that was very dry. Place has potential

    The food was next-level fantastic. I can’t remember having a better piece of Black Cod in my life. The Salmon, Duck, Bok Choy, and crispy rice salad also received rave reviews at the table. I am glad we sat outdoors, the inside was just too loud to carry on a conversation.
