    Loved it! We started at the Rooftop Deck with a cocktail. It was a bit chilly, but we moved to the restaurant for an amazing meal. Coconut Chicken and the Noodle Dish with Tofu, and spring rolls and it was so good! Vietnamese is one of my favs and I was not disappointed. I loved the atmosphere. Our table for four was by the kitchen and it was a bit noisy. The table layout was interesting with the tables for two all up front. And larger in the back by the kitchen, seemed to be set up for date night vs group dinners. Seating was our biggest challenge. All in all, it was a lovely evening and the beautiful restaurant.

    This meal was perfect from the beginning to the end! We were guided by a helpful and friendly server named Tyler. I started with a bacon bourbon drink that was dramatically served under a glass of smoke. We split a tasty spinach salad and then split the melt-in-your-mouth short ribs. A table near us ordered the sourdough bread and butter board, and the simple beauty of it made us cave in and order it as well. For dessert, we had an ice cream sundae with toasted marshmallows. The chef really knows what they are doing!! Everything was delicious. We loved it so much we have already made reservations to come back!
