                     first courses were outstanding Warm oysters and  the best thing on the menu octopus salad!! ( I would definitely go and have that at their bar a glass of wine. It was outstanding.  The skate was terribley disappointing like a chicken nugget and a piece of lettuce.  think they were trying to make it a wrap. fried rice  disappointing

                    Our server was not very helpful---rushed explanations....didn't think of service first first. He needed more training. Details of excellence just not there this time.

                    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!

                    Our server was not good, which took away from the experience. He was not attentive, didn’t listen to order of delivery of items we requested, and hardly checked on us.

                    We’re picky — at least when it comes to saying the food somewhere was great. We thought everything we ate here was fantastic. Especially the fried fish. Also loved the curry and fried rice w crab. The servers were kind and helpful. The space was lovely. We were completely relaxed while eating delicious food. What more can you ask for? Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
