    A very chic spot. On the eighth floor, seemingly “above it all.” A worthy successor to the now closed Hakkasan.

    This was a fabulous experience. It was a little loud for me but no complaints regarding food, service, cleanliness, etc.

    Food was excellent. Front of house staff was shockingly bad. The guy in lobby couldn’t find my confirmed reservation. The host upstairs seated us as a party of two outside on a cold night when we reserved for 4 indoors. The woman who was seating us was incredibly pompous and rude. When brought back to the host stand the host acted as if he was doing us a favor by seating us for what we reserved. Said “we are busy and I’ll do my best to seat you inside”. It’s no wonder their reviews are so bad online. Rude and poorly trained front of house staff turn people off. Server James was great. Food runners were poorly trained. If you go, go for the vibes, but don’t expect the service to match the price.

    This was the most disappointing vegetarian tasting menu I’ve ever experienced. The highlight of the meal was the sparkling water. The service was unprofessional—we received four different courses within ten minutes. The staff served two tasting menu dishes on shared plates without consulting us, explaining that’s their standard presentation. I find this unacceptable—how would they serve a party of more than four people? The waitress forgot we ordered the vegetarian tasting menu and gave us the dessert menu when we asked for dessert. The first dish, edamame, was flavorless and inconsistently salted. The Brussels sprouts had a weird, soggy texture. One of the rolls contained a hard ingredient that hurt my teeth. Overall, the seasoning was plain with an absurd sour and sweet taste. The corn ribs were overwhelmed by sauce that didn’t enhance the flavor. The dessert was okay. There was no special acknowledgment for our anniversary—not even a simple “Happy Anniversary.” My partner and I went elsewhere after this dinner to properly celebrate.
