our meal was excellent. We started with the beet salad, yum, and calamari with was cooked perfectly! The sauce is a sweet nd sour, served with pickled ginger so good! We had the vegetable curry and mushroom risotto- both great. We were too full for desert, and we will definitely go back and try it again!
