   My husband and I were excited to try this new restaurant before going to the theater. We had 5:15 reservations and were seated in a nice booth promptly. However, the restaurant was quite chilly, and I kept my coat on the entire time. We reviewed the menu on their website prior to making our reservation and my husband had intended to order the Skirt Steak entree. Unfortunately, our waiter told us that they were out of skirt steak! (at 5:15!) We tried to call the restaurant for 3 days with a couple questions before our visit and each time a recording stated that the number was not in service!! Our thoughts were that there was some financial difficulty with the business such that they couldn't afford to fully stock their kitchen and pay the phone bill. For these reasons, we most likely will not go back. Our waiter was very friendly and apologetic. He was able to explain menu options and answer our questions well!

   Wonderful-Fantastic-Beautiful- Delicious- already ready to go back. If you are going to the Paramount Theater or just a night in Downtown Aurora- you will not be disappointed!

   The NYE party was very nice, however, for the value of what the initial price was paid to be admitted, the food was very stingy and not very much. It seemed that the staff wasn't prepared to serve on time, and the live entertainment started late. Otherwise, service was accommidating and when the entertainment started it was very good.

   Outstanding food and service. Angela our server was impeccable. Everything we got from the appetizers to the entrees was unique and delicious. Sorry no food pics we demolished everythjng! Must get the wings! Get 2 orders that’s how good! Sashimi platter 100%! Dragons Breathe roll 100%! Adobo fried rice.. it will get you pregnant it’s that good. If there is live music and you want to talk at your table ask to sit in the back… it’s not bad it’s just a loud vibe. This is a must try.

   Literally one of my FAVORITE places to be!! Chef Clark is AMAZING and never forgets us. He always comes over to say hi, ask our opinion, and just express his humble thanks. He creates PURE MAGIC in the kitchen and I have never left hungry or disappointed! We’ve been waiting in by both Paula and Pam and OMG it’s like being seated by your best friends. So sweet and knowledgable and the best personalities. This restaurant’s love story is a tear jerker! If you haven’t heard it just ask!!! My favorite eatery by far and the sexy decor is gorgeous!!! 10 ⭐️

    Food and service were above average. Our server did forget about one entree which came out late. Otherwise all good. A couple ways to improve the wine experience. The bottle of red we ordered was warm. Red wine should be stored at around 56 degrees and served slightly chilled at around 65 degrees. Also the stemless wine glasses were quite large and hard to handle. A glass with a smaller profile or a stem would be better. We will be back.
