Interesting experience eating at the Chef’s Counter. The flavors of all food were outstanding and delicious. Server explained and described all foods in great detail. Restaurant is very small; designed more for take-away dining, not a true dining-in environment. Disappointed in the lack of ambience but not in the food. Food this good should be presented in a much better environment.

The food was very good. We ended up eating at the counter. It was hard for the four of us to communicate. I’d go back to try different things on the menu.

Had a special dinner with our son and daughter-in-law, with the counter experience. We were able to enjoy over a dozen dishes, from snacks, appetizers, main entrees and dessert. All at the counter watching the cooks. We added wine pairing. They treated us as special guests and saw to all our needs. Wonderful dinner!
