    Like usual the food here its outstanding, great welcoming with the hostess very nice and attentive, i maybe said to skip espresso martinis here, they were very water down. But everything besides that was awesome, we were never rushed, general staff and servers were very nice.

    Had high expectations of this place from reading reviews. WARNING: lunch menu is severely limited and different from dinner. Came in during a slow lunch. Overall just a big letdown. No decent fish items on the lunch menu other than a fried sandwich. The oyster tacos were tiny, for $20 barely a taste really. Ordered a dozen oysters and a first for me ever when ordering oysters is they used cilantro stems in their Marionette sauce? Really? Asked if we could just get normal red wine with red onions. They don’t have red onions there apparently. Fish sandwich was flavorful but small. Asked nicely if they could break protocol and make a hanachi crudo from the dinner menu - no go. Service was ok. The waiter seemed more annoyed having to serve us, but again more common in New England than we are used to on the west coast. At $120 all in for 1 ice tea, dozen oysters, a fish Sandwich and some scallion pancake, we left hungry and disappointed.

    Ambience was very good, but it got very loud. We went for a big birthday, yet the table we got seated wasn't the greatest (I even made note on the reservation). It was deep in the house, but a table by the wall and had not much of a view. The food, for the price, was too salty- I was quite surprised because I usually enjoy salty food, but the dishes were too salty. The luxurious vibe was nice, but the food quality in comparison did not seem to match the price. Also, the sprite that we ordered barely had any sprite flavor. It was really just fizzy water, which was disappointing. There was a table behind that was very loud, which also ruined the vibe/experience. Staff were friendly and attentive.
