If I’m writing a review, it’s either really good or really bad. This falls under the really bad. Tasting menu is overpriced, food was overall terrible. Some were okay but not memorable. I’m seriously disappointed and feel kinda angry after leaving the restaurant. Food needs to edible and not hurt your stomach.

The food was decent, the staff and servers were friendly. However, the plates were coming out way too fast, and keep in mind, this was a tasting menu so the dishes weren’t very big to begin with a couple bites at most. So we were still on one course and another course was served to our table. They just need to space out the courses a little bit better.

The food was amazing. Every dish was good to excellent. There were no bad dishes! There were 4 of us and we had both the vegetarian and vegan prix fixe menus, the vegan selections were amazing. The food is stunning to look at! The service was impeccable and the noise level quiet. The way it’s laid out it feels like you are one of two or three tables in the restaurant. We are definitely going back. This place was fantastic!!

Service was low because I arranged through my reservation that I wanted to be greeted by our names Eric and Erika when we arrived. I was told that this would happen. When we arrived we were not greeted properly as I asked. This is a BIG DEAL for me. Not being acknowledged at such an expensive reaturant os a turn off. I expected high level of service. Also our table was not cleaned per dish and we ran out of silverware 3 times durring the experience. Food was great and the reflections of the dishes was good. However I was not impressed with the service I was expecting. Not sure if I would come back because of the lack of client relationship. I was a little upset.

Such a wonderful experience! I had the pleasure of bringing my mom and sister to the 5 course vegan tasting with a tea pairing and dessert. The artistry and storytelling in each dish was beautifully conveyed. The balance and fusion of different cultures was explored in each tasting. I appreciated the great service and explanation of each dish from our servers. We would definitely come again.
