    Very attentive service and nice presentation style. Attractive decor and calm ambiance. The food was very interesting and not typical American Vietnamese restaurant fare. We had the tasting menu - The salad with the delicata squash was excellent and great combo of flavors and textures. However most of the other dishes were all sweet, there wasn’t much of a break from all the sweetness- the short ribs could have been dessert! But even after all that sweetness the Whipped pumpkin coconut rice pudding was fantastic!

    Food was excellent. Service seemed a little slow to get started - had to ask to have a waitress stop to take drink orders after she'd walked by several times - and and slightly less attentive than desired but was friendly, helpful, and got the job done.
