I enjoy trivia on Wednesday nights. Staff greets me by name and seats my group at our usual table. It feels like home. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The trivia contest is so fun even if we don’t know the answers. Give it a try…you’ll love it too.

My friend and I came to your restaurant for lunch this week. I had the Salmon with potatoe and asparagus which was very good and a very good value. My friend had a Lobster Roll. She wasn't happy with the lobster because she felt it was mushy. For that amount of money it should have been better. We both had dessert which were both good. The apple tart and the chocolate brownie were both very good. We hope to bring another friend back to have lunch someday soon,

The food types that we purchased are familiar however the quality and presentation are far beyond what one would typically be served at an Asian restaurant. Translate this is the best that you ever will have. Their pricing is also comparable. Do not pass this opportunity to dine here as this place is a keeper for a return. Their ambiance is truly beautiful and check out images.
