    Alyssa was our server/mixologist and was exceptional. Great recommendations, impeccable service. We did the AZ Restaurant Week special, which is how we learned of this place. Great news - the chef offers similar option at all times for a little more. The food was incredible. Started with cold oysters - best I’ve ever had. Two of us alternated dishes so we could taste more of the menu. Every dish delivered at its best. Will certainly return - it’s a new favorite.

    We went to this place last night for happy hour. Our server Alyssa was amazing and provided terrific service and great conversation throughout. Food was well made, unique and provided great value. Good selection of wine and sake also with reasonable pricing. Not to be missed is the dessert Goguma Toffee cake. Wow. Go visit these folks and support a local business. The restaurant was spotless and you could see the pride taken in the space. Well done.

    The price is fair and the food is good. But some of their popular items are no longer served.

    The server came to our table, sat down, and proceeded to tell us that our bill was around $200 and we only left a $15 tip. She started off saying “I’m not trying to come across rude but was my service bad? I only got a $15 tip and this is my main source of income. I basically served you guys for free because I have to split my tip with the whole bar and other servers and this is my only job.” Disrespectful at its finest. I’ve never had this experience before. We all listened and I proceeded to tell her that although we understand where she’s coming from, she should also understand that one of us has a child to fend for. Others are paying for school, bills, and have other personal things going on, so we finally had a chance to set money aside to go out together to eat. The waitress quickly said “I totally get that but it was only a $15 tip and I just didn’t understand why.” This was our first time here, except 1 who spoke high of this place. We had a great night, the food was amazing, but the night ended sour. Because of this experience, we’re never coming back.

    Great food, one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had, refilled water 6 times without asking, came and checked in multiple times and was super polite. Food came out fast too, very great experience. My recommendation is the bulgogi japchae, super good
