    Nice restaurant, I liked the big tables where multiple parties can sit. Thanks to the waiter for recommending the Son in Law, very tasty entree.

    We went for happy hour. Its a good way to try some smaller dishes and try some coctails. The happy hour food menu is very limited. We've ate here before so I have a better sense of the broader food menu selections. My wife enjoyed the coctails. The bartender was great.

    The panang curry was too salty. The short rib came in small pieces that felt more like cheap cuts of meat, definitely not worth the $30 price tag.

    Hello, Sam. I'm sorry your Panang Curry didn't hit the spot. Would you mind taking me through where our service missed the mark as well? We love to take such an opportunity to tighten up where we need to. Also, if you like, we'd love to get you back in to buy you a dish or two that we think you would love coupled with the kind of service that lives up to the standards we set for our crew. If you'd like to take us up on this, please drop my name when making your next reservation. Thanks again, Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager

    Enjoyed dinner with friends. Server was great, just felt she had a lot of tables. Only downside was that we ate in the main dining area and it could have been cooler. Second time I’ve been this year and both times the room runs too warm. Food amazing as always.

    Salt and pepper tofu was a surprising delight. All the food is great. My only issue is the volume, but that’s just me. :)
