   We have eaten here before. This experience was below our expectations. The appetizers were the shining stars: spring rolls and the waygu bites. Really, really good. The cocktail I had was way too sweet and no taste of alcohol. Different orders came out at different times, so people sat waiting for several minutes. I ordered a glass of wine. I was asked if I wanted it now or with dinner. I said now. It didn't come until after I had my dinner. I had to ask about it twice. We didn't get sauces with our food until we asked. The Waygu steak dinner was in a very sweet sauce, which my kids really liked. I felt it needed the sauce it came with to tone down the sweetness. Pad Thai was good, but the sauce was cloying and made it heavy. Shrimp fried rice was light, which was good, but lacked flavor, which is why we asked for sauces. The servers were very friendly and kind. Overall, though, it's the food that matters and everyone was just underwhelmed. As an aside - there was a patron coughing at a table near us for about 10-15 minutes. May I suggest that a person in that situation should leave until they are done coughing and then come back. It probably colored our experience more negatively, which is not the fault of the restaurant.

   The food and service were great, except for one service disappointment. We were there to celebrate a birthday, which I indicated in my reservation. I called the day before our reservation to ask if they do anything to celebrate birthdays. The person I spoke with confirmed that the birthday was noted in the reservation and I was told if we order a dessert, it would be brought to the table with a candle to sing happy birthday. We ordered dessert, but they did not hold up their end of the bargain. I expressed my disappointment to both our server and the hostess as we were leaving and got no reaction.

   It was a beautiful dinner experience. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The service was the absolute best, seated us on time! Food is delicious and it is simply hard to pick a favorite. The cocktails are so creative. The ambience is wonderful and gives a festive feel! For sure going again! Also their outdoor patio is so beautiful! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

   The restaurant itself is really cute, and the staff were very accommodating for our birthday reservation. They provided a great dessert plate for our daughter and her friends to share for her birthday and the staff led a great happy birthday song to add to the celebration. I miss the big appetizer plate that they used to offer - that seems to have been taken off the menu. My husband and I enjoyed the branzino and crab fried rice - we felt the two dishes went well together. My daughter and her friends ordered a variety of dishes as well - their absolute favorite was the Seau Rhong Hai (Snake River Wagyu flank steak). It's helpful that they highlight particular ingredients that people might be allergic to - my husband is allergic to peanuts and we are both averse to cilantro, so it helped to pick out appropriate items and staff were accommodating in removing cilantro from the dishes. My husband's typically very weary of Thai food because of possible peanut exposure, and we were very thankful there were no issues and it really allowed him to feel like he could enjoy the food. Definitely anticipate spending about $40-50/person + tips - great experience overall.

   Flavours were perfect with extensive options in the menu. We had vegetarian guests with us and they too enjoyed the food equally! Chef was happy to adjust the spice levels to make it very spicy and we loved it! Special drinks menu was interesting- Hedwig and Lod Chong were truly amazing!

   The experience was not as per our expectations. Service was average and mostly inattentive.
