    If you have not been to Eylan yet, go now before it gets crowded! That said, the food was delicious, the service friendly and attentive, and the ambience, comfortable and not stuffy. We had two small plates, 1 bread, 2 small entrees and 2 larger entrees. Though it seemed like a lot, we decided to try most anything that sounded good. The Hamachi was such a treat! Fresh tasting and not at all fishy. It was served with a crispy, light batter-fried herb leaf and was lighter than a potato chip. The Black Cod was light and cooked to perfection with a crisped skin and tender flakiness. The Cornish Hen was reminiscent of our favorite Indian dish, Butter Chicken, but lighter and without bones! All the dishes were made with the care and originality that we usually go to Ettan to get. We will be back again!

    Excellent food and good recommendations by the server. Service was a little slow considering the place was not crowded but we really appreciated that chef was able to make a Paneer dish for our son without nuts. The ambiance was quiet and chill and the dark lighting made the experience very private. Wonderful dinner and will certainly be back to try the other things on the menu.
