   I wish I could say I had the chance to enjoy the food here, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Despite having a reservation, we weren’t allowed to order because the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. To make matters worse, another table arrived after us at 9:30 PM and was served food without issue. This inconsistency was incredibly frustrating and made us feel dismissed. Reservations should ensure a proper dining experience, not a rushed or denied one.

   Tasty food but small portions. It was the first time we did a Restaurant Week menu and weren’t full by the end of the meal, and had to order more.

   Very small portion for 2 for a $200 bill. The bass from the night club’s music right beside it is too loud for tables closer to the back exit door toward the restroom so it messes with the nice jazz music playing in the restaurant.

   The food was nice but the service was pretty awful. The server was kind and pleasant but her skills left us wondering, what is happening? It was like no one really cared.

   We went for restaurant week, I’m glad we were able to do small bites of many things but I don’t think the portions are worth the value for restaurant week menu. Overall, the food was delicious!

   It was my partner’s birthday and they host even wished him a happy birthday but they didn’t do anything for him. The food was very good but some dishes were tiny. We ordered still water and had to pay for a bottle which is not really necessary in the Bay Area when tap/filtered water is perfectly fine. 20% tip included for a two person party. I wish this place was more weeknight-out budget friendly because I’d definitely go back again if it was more reasonable.

    The place is very ambient and it is very romantic enough to take your lovely spouse on a nice dinner date. Love the jazz music and wood natural decor. The food is great. Especially any of the items that are char grilled. That wood fire gives that perfect flavor to their high quality meat. While food is great. The service just seemed to take a long time. It was odd to be waiting an extraordinary time between starters and main course. We are also just one out of two couples there. Other than that, food is still good. The place is still beautiful. Just wish service was a just a little faster.
