Everything you would expect from an outstanding upscale dinning experience! From the Dj in the corner to the entire restaurant design this place is the entire vibe. Food, as I sit here typing and munching on my leftovers with the most basis of reheat options, the microwave, take me right back to when my lobster drunken noodles and lobster fried rice were dropped of at my table last night hot and fresh! Chef's Kiss, thank you. Drinks warmed your soul as well. But more over the reason I'll definitely be back many more times, is they recognize you're coming out spending hard earn money for a chance to relax and enjoy a night out, never felt rushed to just eat and leave! We were encouraged to just enjoy our items as they arrived and continue our conversation or listening to the music and people watching! Thank you for an all around dinning experience cant wait to be back.

We had a great experience dining as we do many days a week. Working dowmtown we have been coming here regularly for many many years and we love everything on the menu . Since we are regulars we are familiar with the menu and the staff. One person who stands out as a stellar representative of the ambiance of this place is Gonzalo. He works really hard to make sure each customer is treated like royalty- all equally. Every customer seems important to him. We feel at home when we walk in and see his smile as he nods his welcome to us. We hope that he is recognized for hos exemplary service and loyalty to Little Sister
