Food was exquisite, every dish was outstanding. The lamb noodles is small but rich, as is the meatball, definitely for sharing rather than eating whole. The frog legs were succulent and crispy, the burrata melted in your mouth, the mushrooms crisps on top the fish cerviche was so memorable, thank you! The bar downstairs was also great, I had a lovely cocktail while waiting for my table.

I really enjoyed my experience here. The professionalism of the restaurant stands out right away — the hosts, hostesses, and service staff are all welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which makes the dining experience feel polished yet comfortable. The food is a great fusion of Western flavors and Chinese Szechuan-style cuisine. The dishes feel familiar and approachable rather than overly experimental, making it easy to enjoy and share with others. Everything we tried was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. The restaurant serves tapas-style small plates, so plan on ordering about 2–3 dishes per person to share. It’s perfect for trying multiple items and experiencing a variety of flavors. The drinks are excellent as well, and they’re clearly known for their cocktails — creative, well-balanced, and a great complement to the food menu. I especially recommend this spot for date nights or special occasions. The atmosphere feels intimate and elevated. I wouldn’t suggest coming with large groups, though, as costs can add up quickly. Parking is convenient with valet available, but street parking can be challenging depending on the day and time, so plan accordingly. Overall, a lovely dining experience with great service, thoughtful food, and a refined yet relaxed ambiance.

Overall, a solid environment with great interior design and a very cozy feel. Booths are a key design feature with some mini cocktail snuggle areas by fireplaces and a cozy bar. Food is of creative origin and very delectable. Super inviting overall— although the service is not able to rise up to the level of interior design or the food. So it’s out of balance. The level of attentiveness is not quite there in terms of either drinks or getting us going after we sat down. Too many staff members dealing with us. Maybe it was our team tonight or staffing in general. Our tab was $350 for 3 including tip. A few drinks included.

We recently got engaged and chose to celebrate with dinner here, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with incredible kindness and made us feel so special. The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding, and the entire team went above and beyond to celebrate our special occasion. They surprised us with champagne, desserts, and a heartfelt card, which made the evening even more memorable. We are so grateful for the exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. Thank you for helping make our engagement celebration so perfect. We highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back!

They have valet parking, that makes your experience much better especially it is not easy find parking there. Food was definitely quite interesting, however, we thought a few dishes were a bit too spicy. However, nice atmosphere, great service.
