    Went on a date night with husband and we really had a lovely experience. Food was delicious: we shared crab cakes, Korean Chicken Wings, Calamari. Entrees Husband had NY Steak served with finger potatoes and steamed carrots broccoli cauliflower medley. I had a Herb-lemon Butter sauced Swordfish with purple mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. We finished with dessert of crème brûlée, Husband had the Sicilian Kiss dessert drink and I had an espresso. Everything was fantastic. Service was very good. Ambiance was ok as there was some construction going on so some of the ceiling was tarped. Not too distracting, but for me, it took away some of the ambiance.

    This multi-course, beautifully presented meal leaves you so satisfied, appreciative of the care, thought, presentation and quality of the amazing food. Every small course is delicious and beautiful in its own manner, with accents of caviar, parsley dust, house-made dashi and details such as this that intrigue you mind and your palate. The quiet ambiance allows the chef to explain how each course was curated, while he is assembling the dishes in front of the guests. Worth the drive to Foster City; the last time we dined, someone had come from Marin County, and last night, a young couple had driven up from San Jose. Well-worth the expense, a memorable gastro event, for certain. Must go for your next special event.
