Very attentive service and nice presentation style. Attractive decor and calm ambiance. The food was very interesting and not typical American Vietnamese restaurant fare. We had the tasting menu - The salad with the delicata squash was excellent and great combo of flavors and textures. However most of the other dishes were all sweet, there wasn’t much of a break from all the sweetness- the short ribs could have been dessert! But even after all that sweetness the Whipped pumpkin coconut rice pudding was fantastic!

Our server was not good, which took away from the experience. He was not attentive, didn’t listen to order of delivery of items we requested, and hardly checked on us.

We’re picky — at least when it comes to saying the food somewhere was great. We thought everything we ate here was fantastic. Especially the fried fish. Also loved the curry and fried rice w crab. The servers were kind and helpful. The space was lovely. We were completely relaxed while eating delicious food. What more can you ask for? Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Overall, food was quite good. The whole fluke, chicken wings and octopus salad were exceptional, the papaya salad was also quite good. The bun cha was slightly too salty, and the crab fried rice was way too salty. Overall the experience was pretty good.

The service at the bar was lackluster. The bartender servicing my party was in training, but his trainer was not making sure he was following up with us. If we needed something we had to act like we were landing s plane. Our servicer didn’t ask if we were okay, didn’t refill our drinks or ask if we wasn’t to order another drink, he didn’t check to see if we wanted to order dessert, etc. We had to flag him down to close out our bill and wrap up our food. I’ve eaten here before and had great service, so this was a disappointment.

Food was delicious. Service was good but very slow. Parking in was challenging because filming was being done in the area. I’d definitely would return.
