    Delicious food, beautiful environment, lovely attentive (but not overbearing) service. Special cocktails are great, too. The noise level can be moderate or quite high, depending on where you sit, which impacted the overall experience for me.

    me and my boyfriend went during restaurant week. The menu was very good. There was a lot to choose from. the waiter was very  nice and attentive. We had the ceviche and the sushi rolls which were both delicious. We had the rigatoni and the salmon which were also really good. My boyfriend liked the cheesecake. I did not like the cheesecake or the rice pudding.

    This place is amazing, beautiful bar, nicely designed, outstanding staff, attention to details, and the food is second to none. We had the 4 course menu that included one whole fish crudo (sashimi style) and one cooked fish + salad + desert. It was a lot of food and so delicious. If one likes sashimi, brace yourself for a great experience.
