    Food was so disappointing. A few of us got the Korean noodle bowl. We all had to hunt for the small and few mushrooms that were in it. It was basically a $20 bowl of noodles. Charge a little more and have some more mushrooms in there. They use to be the highlight of the dish. The only person that liked their meal had the salmon salad. Seems like this place has gone down hill.

    Took a friend who had never been before, he was very impressed. Is going to come back for a Sunday brunch. Our server was absolutely amazing. She interacted with us and it made for excellent service. Very attentive yet gave us time to have an appetizer and social beverage before taking our order. Her name is Joanna.🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Your avocado toasts sizes have been cut by 50%. The toasts are so small is ridiculous
