    My friend and I enjoyed our Holiday Tea on 1/5/2025. Maya was our server and she was very attentive, took our picture, explained each of the foods as she served them. She answered questions about the kinds of tea that were offered and was very knowledgeable. All the food was delicious. There is so much, I would recommend eating a little bit and then box it up as you go so you have room for everything else. The food was presented very nicely. Very attractive platings. We’ll definitely be back!

    My recent dining experience was truly exceptional, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Tonya. From the moment we were seated, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. Tonya went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, and we left feeling thoroughly impressed. Thanks for making it a fun evening!

    This one has popped up on OpenTable many times and with both kids gone on a Friday night my wife and I decided to try. We arrived a little before our reservation and informed it would be about 10 mins. Time enough for us to sit at bar and have a drink. Very friendly bar staff and we engaged with a regular who said they had the best happy hour in DP. Not halfway through our beers (oh their beer menu is not 99.999% IPA like many around. It's ok, try something new) we were seated at our table. We had a challenge deciding which appetizer to choose and opted for potato tacos as this is not something we've ever had, delicious! We did see the brussels sprouts delivered to tables to our left and right and would get those next time. Wife has meat protein allergy so was thrilled to finally find a risotto that wasn't made w/ chicken stock, she added halibut and loved every bite. I had recently ended >5 yrs of not eating meat and the smash burger was screaming at me. Incredible, this burger. My only complaint would be the fries. Shoestring cut is my LEAST favorite cut. Nobody eats those 1 by 1 so why do that? Our server (forget her name) was fantastic. We've had wonderful dishes ruined by crap service, but she elevated the experience and solidified us wanting to return. Inside it has a warm, cozy feeling. It's not too big and they only had 2, single unit restrooms and one was out of order so the line backed up. Given the overall experience I found the total cost to be a fantastic value. We'll be back (did you say that in your best Arnold impression) :)

    Alejandro was AMAZING. Never hurried us and we enjoyed a wonderful time. The food was exquisite. We were celebrating our 43rd anniversary and Alejandro mentioned it and congratulated us a couple of time. We had a fabulous experience and you are lucky to have him working there for you.
