   Tasty, fresh, delicious and awesome amounts of food. I came hungry and could barely finish my salad after appetizers and then definitely could not finish my main course but made for an amazing meal the next day.

   Service was good and food was delicious- the only downside was that the restaurant is pretty loud so it’s harder to hold conversations.

   My ribeye was perfect, but my wife’s filet was horribly cooked. Twice. She ordered it medium , and it came out well done. They took it back and delivered a second one. Supposed to be medium. It came to the table 10 minutes later as rare as can be. We shared most of my ribeye, and said don’t Bo th we about my wife’s filet.

   I would have given this five starts except for one thing: Asparagus Fries. They were so bad - I know everyone is trying to copy Nick’s Del Mar Asparagus fries, but seriously, stop. Flavorless, lukewarm, bad dipping sauces. Also, in terms of service, would have given five starts except the kitchen “forgot” to make our asparagus fries so they came after the entree after we inquired with the server, and even though they made them and sent them out, they were barely lukewarm????

   House salad soggy with too much dressing Quinoa vegetable with salmon had a bitter sour dressing. Waiter took back to change sauce and was worse with sweet inedible taste. Too embarrassed to return. Ordered a white bottle of wine and wasn’t chilled so it took 30-40 minutes to chill. Took 6 people out and it was embarrassing as I bragged how good my previous experience was. They need to hire competent cooks and organized processes. Great location and vibe ruined by poor food and service.

    I came with my mother and sister in law to celebrate Mothers Day, It was a wonderful lunch menu, we had a very good time. Like always the service was excellent the servers are always so friendly and accommodating. This time our server was Jonathan and he was such a excellent server always attentive to our needs and which such a good attitude apart from the restaurant being so busy. Thank you for making this lunch special for us.

    Over all the food was excellent, especially the brussel sprouts and Ahi Poke. The parmesan crusted asparagus, while good, had to thick of a breading on them.

    Went to celebrate a birthday. Surprised the server didn’t acknowledge the birthday or even offer a dessert especially after spending so much money on dinner/drinks. Service was sub par but food was very good.

    The food is good the prices are okay a bit over charged. Waitstaff are hit or miss we had a waitress that was “OCD” in her own words and for some reason kept taking things from our table and sleazing our drinks empty we had to prompt several times. We have been here twice and this last time it was so loud we couldn’t hear each other across the table we really wonder why the heck anyone would want to leave with a headache. I’m a younger adult and I’ve never been to a restaurant that I felt like I was in a bar vs restaurant.

    The food was great and service was good, but everything was exceptionally slow. I was glad to not feel rushed, but we were finished with our food and silverware was set on the table for 20 minutes before our server came back. It was not completely full and we noticed the route the server took seemed to avoid most of the tables near us, after several times seeing this we finally got them to notice us. As I said the food was fantastic, but 2 hours to eat when we ordered everything from apps to dinner within 10 mins of arrival was just too long. We didn't have time for dessert because we had reservations for drinks elsewhere. The restaurant was great, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. We also dressed up and felt overdressed as most of the patrons were mall shoppers despite it being Saturday evening.

    Our server was really nice, ambiance was very nice. The brussels sprouts were the best I ever had. The steak was a steak. Just a very expensive steak I could have gotten anywhere else for 1/2 the price. Not sure I would go back.

    Had a 5pm reservation for there early at 4:55. We were seated early and did not have anyone around us as it was very slow/super uncrowded. We did not get water or spoken to for 20 minutes so we left. Terrible service for such an awesome place. Super disappointed. (Also we were there for a bday celebration which the hostess confirmed at the door before seating us).

    We experienced delay in bringing the bottle of wine we ordered as the Sommelier was not available. Our waiter brought us the wrong bottle of wine, and again was delay in receiving the right bottle due to Sommeliers unavailability. We really didn't need a sommelier open our bottle of wine and would have preferred getting our wind sooner.

    Easter brunch. Drinks, food, and service were good but not over the top. The brunch selection for Easter was good but pricey for the four of us.

    We paid for bread and butter. Received a loaf partially sliced, but with no other knife. Our table knives were not equipped to finish the slicing without mangling the bread. How about a sharp knife next time? Service a bit slow. Seems like not enough servers available. Our server was working hard, so kudos for doing the best you can with too many tables to serve. If you have specials, please tell me what each will cost. They sounded good but no idea if they would be super expensive or in a reasonable price range. Food was ok. A rib eye steak, a short rib, two salads, two glasses of wine = $200.

    We wanted to have a cioppino. Therefore, we order it and a YG alastian "pizza" and 2 cups of hot water. Cioppino was very well done, especially the cook of scallop, they nailed it. Pizza is basically a flat bread, kind of oily to our taste. When it comes to the bill, I realized they charged us $3 x 2 =$6 for "tea service"=hot water. I think it is way over charged. I didn't see it on the menu nor our waitress mentioned about this charges to me when I placed the order. We will definitely come back for the cioppino and possible scallop risotto, but to avoid Hot water.
