About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
East-Meets-West dishes inspired by the rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences.

The menu is continually evolving, reflecting both new inspiration and changing of the seasons. Our restaurant carefully curates spirits, wines, and beverages focusing on interesting flavors and pairings. We hope you'll dine with us soon.

    Shaky shaky beef, grilled pork chop, garlic noodles, sea bass are all excellent. Most dishes come with salads. Waiter was very accommodating and gave us the right amount of attention.

    I was surprised that the choice of music for the restaurant was Rap. Since the majority of the patrons were older This didn’t seem like a good choice. But I could’ve lived with a choice if it hadn’t been such a loud choice.

    Great happy hour on the patio. The papaya salad was underwhelming, but the sticky rice, Pho Ga and spring rolls were excellent. Service was very attentive.
