Our server Adam was hospitable, attentive and friendly. He definitely elevated our experience tonight. The lychee martini was the best in the city. We shared oysters, beef tartare, kobe steak, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, which were all of high quality & tasted excellent. What a vibe! We will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious meal. We tried the Hamachi crudo, iceberg salad, burger, fried chicken, and crispy squash. Every dish was perfectly seasoned with well-balanced flavours and pleasing textures. Attentive servers and fast kitchen. Highly recommend.

Second time there and did not disappoint. A few drips coming down from where the tree goes through the sky light but no big deal. Layers off and on relatively to heaters off and on but no big deal. Every dish was yummy and drinks too.

Nice quiet patio dining experience before watching a movie. Food selection is obviously limited to movie theater food options but still decent for a quick bite.
