The service and food were superb. The vegetable side dishes were excellent and you and order half portions particularly if there are two of you dining. The seafood dishes were excellent particularly the scallops and the steelhead trout. Very manageable wine list with good price ranges.

Decent food. High price point for not being the best beef Quality. Rare shouldn't come out medium rare. Sides were great. Dumpling dough needs work. Cooked Dough too chewy even if crispy. Service checked their boxes, but lack personal touch. Hence all around 4. your Reviews of hit or miss makes sense. Had a hit experience. Will be back, but will skip porterhouse for 2 next time. Don't mind spending 500 for 2, but rushing diners when place is empty is odd. And lack personal touch.
