Excellent food and ambiance. Braised short rib was delicious and flavorful (very filling). Tortellini was tasty. We also had the tuna and crispy rice very good as an appetizer (small portion). Cocktails were amazing as well! Spicy pineapple margarita, whiskeys and donuts, espresso martini, nana’s midnight ritual, whiskey shot all highly recommended. Mimi, our server was extremely helpful and attentive.

The ambience in the restaurant was amazing. The service we received from start to finish was great. Our server was Christopher and manager was Brazil and they went above and beyond to ensure that my mom and I had a wonderful experience. They suggested entrée and drink items that did not miss. My mom had the salmon with curry and rice. She really enjoyed it. I had the crab fried rice, which was extremely flavorful. The drinks were great. I will definitely be visiting again soon with family and friends. The location was good. We’re able to park and get in and out quickly
