I made a reservation for an early business dinner and it was confirmed by the restaurant. But when I got to the restaurant, it was closed even though, according to the hours posted on the front door, it should have been open. This caused considerable stress and inconvenience as I had to find a restaurant quickly for 4 people arriving separately. I thought this demonstrated a lack of professionalism and courtesy by the restaurant.

Nice place to eat if in China Town. Good service, interesting location but food was fine for a bistro, not a higher end French restaurant.

Got the exact table I was hoping for. Wine recommendation was good. We all order flat whites after dinner and it was one of the best coffees we’ve ever had! (And I’m picky when it comes to coffee.)
