    Great experience for 17 year anniversary. Andreas was a great waiter and treated us well. Only minor issue was that we got a cocktail with lipstick on the glass. Other than that, the evening was excellent. Will definitely come back!!

    The space is dark, food is remarkable and service is top notch. We had quite a few dishes including the crispy Brussels sprouts, sashimi moriawase, New York strip and short ribs. All were delicious. The evening we went, they had special cocktails celebrating the Wicked production at the Pantages across the street. Our celebrant had the Glinda, which was a very fun tasting drink - strawberry, Prosecco mix.
