Amazing experience from the moment we entered the door the atmosphere was invigorating. We were led to our table and started with some oysters, mussels, and the charred octopus which it was my first time trying and it was simply amazing. Hats off to the chef who prepared entrees that literally were blowing our minds. It was like an adventure with a new chapter every bite. Last but certainly not least I want to thank our server, Brian who gave us world class service.

Music was too loud Also despite a 20% being automatically added as gratuity, which would normally fine as then you don’t have to worry about tipping, the waitress said that was for staff and that we could add a tip for her. They lost me with this, so you are still asking for more tip?

The food was absolutely amazing. Highlights were the hashbrowns, and bao bun appetizers. For entrees the chicken was so delicious. Also the lobster noodles were Fantastic too. Don’t forget to get the lemon tart for dessert!

Extremely over priced and underwhelming. They don't offer side dishes...I paid $45 for a piece of salmon that was clearly a piece that was cut in 1/3 the size it should have been.
