    Food has potential. I ordered a crispy rice salad, it had good ingredients but the dressing was extremely potent. With a strong soy / balsamic intensity. We also ordered a fish that was very dry. Place has potential

    The food was next-level fantastic. I can’t remember having a better piece of Black Cod in my life. The Salmon, Duck, Bok Choy, and crispy rice salad also received rave reviews at the table. I am glad we sat outdoors, the inside was just too loud to carry on a conversation.

    Not sure if something was going on in the kitchen but the food and drinks took a crazy amount of time… and the food was cold - so it was odd to wait for cold food. Server was lovely and the apps were good but things seemed to fall apart with the entrees.

    Chef Budi created a memorable experience for us with the tasting experience. He came out and spoke with us to ask about our preferences and created 5 remarkably incredible dishes. Each course was beautiful and delectable and we enjoyed every single bite. A truly memorable evening in Solvang and we hope to dine here again very soon.
