Our server Vlad and his team were exceptional, the menu was explained well and we were guided on how much to order for our party of three. The standouts for us were the Maguro, the cucumber salad, the shiso tempura and the whole fish. Overall we had a lovely experience and would return.

Our experience was mediocre. We ordered multiple apps and dishes, and almost all of them were below average. The shrimp was extremely soft in the pasta. Short rib had a lot of fat on it and barely warm. Service was not attentive, the waiter forgot our flight of crudos and it wasn’t until they started bringing out our main dishes that the waiter came and we reminded him about it. Overall, this is an overpriced and underwhelming restaurant.

Celebrated my birthday here and tried their Miami Spice menu. Everything was amazing and delicious! Love the fusion of cuisines! The fFlipino style definitely reminded me of my mom’s home cooking.
