   Such a great place for a date night or night with friends. We shared all our dishes and the flavors were amazing. Drinks were also delicious . It was busy so the staff was also busy took a little time before we were able to place our order but once we did it was out in a very timely manner. Our server was really sweet and took her time once she came to us. The music was delightful and perfect.

   Amazing food, amazing service, and jazz band was great too!!! It would be even wonderful if the music playlist (when the band is not playing) would match the classy style and decor of the restaurant.

   料理もライヴ演奏も素晴らしかった。わたしにとってはメニューの詳細の文字が小さく暗いので理解するのに時間がかかった。それ以外は最高でした。

    We went for Valentines Day and I will say the place was classy, but I was not satisfied with the food. For me, the value to taste wasn’t there. The meal comprised of 5 courses and it seemed a level of sweetness was prevalent from each course. What my wife and I was not satisfied with, was the level of sweetness per course. It seemed as each course progressed, the level of sweetness increased. At the end, it was overwhelming, for our taste. On top of this, we left not satisfied and we stoped by a fast food restaurant just to eat something salty and fill my stomach. Other than that, we really enjoyed the ambience.
