    We had to wait 25 minutes for our table and the food was average, very pricey and very noisy. Slightly disappointed with the experience in the end.

    Delicious food and the staff were very accommodating as we were dining with a small baby. Would definitely return.

    We had a large (8) group which involved a moot dictating bottles of wine and entrees. The waiter did great job of bringing courses out promptly and didnt balk at splitting the bill all sorts of ways. The menu is a bit eclectic (scallops and pork belly; seafood hodgepodge) and nothing really appealed to me but it was unique and tasty. A bit on the pricey side but worth it.

    The evening started with a few bumps. Although the restaurant was empty when we arrived for our early sitting, a very loud and boisterous group was seated next to us almost immediately. We could barely hear. Then, one of the chairs one of the women was sitting on broke and she fell onto the floor with quite a crash. Fortunately, she was the hurt. We asked to be moved and staff immediately accommodated us which we appreciated very much. Ten new server took a bit to come and get our drink order. One of the mains we wanted had tofu, as my friends are vegetarian. The restaurant was out of tofu. Very limited menu for vegans or vegetarian, no protein when the tofu was not an option. After that, things got much better. The wine arrived promptly, and the food was excellent. A mixed evening.
