    We celebrated our daughter’s graduation and were very happy with this place. Our waiter, Nelson, and the food and drinks were awesome!

    I came here in reliance of reviews. Can’t sugarcoat it. I did not like it. For starters, they served alcohol but only with a handful of listed specialty drinks, so you could not order a martini or a Macallan on the rocks. I was recommended by the server (who was very nice. Perhaps the only silver lining) to order a dish that was supposed to be one of their specialties called Chop Sue, consisting of rice mixed with crab and some sauces to which I added octopus. The octopus was terrible, chewy and inedible. I left most of it. No one ever asked why. Sorry, with so many restaurants in this area, no reason to come back here.

    Service was nonexistent and then the restaurant had the nerve to add 18% gratuity automatically.

    Had to wait more than 45 minutes in spite of having a reservation. The food lacked taste.
