    I think we’ve found our new date night favorite! The food was amazing- we had the bulgogi plate, the general Cho’s chicken, and the banchan salad. We couldn’t decide which was best- all so good. Manhattans were perfect. We can’t wait to go back and try more!

    Fresh modern inviting atmosphere. We had a lovely server who was very sweet, but took a bit too long to circle back after the entree - this is being picky - we were ready for plates to be gone and coffee. Had excellent cocktails - all were beautifully balanced - the steak tartare and crab cakes were both yummy and presented beautifully. The table ordered branzino, salmon, waygu hamburger, Buddha plate and the duck. Everyone was very happy. Duck was said to be one of the best he had ever had, and the burger devoured. We were not intending on dessert but someone ordered the date & molasses cake with croissant & drambuie ice cream and toffee sauce + 5 forks ;) DUDE! Everyone at the table was enamoured - SO good - highly recommend! Overall great experience and will definitely go back.
