    We came here to celebrate my daughter‘s 26th birthday with the family. This is our first time dining in here and the ambience looks amazing. It’s not too loud. It’s not too bright, but it’s just right. The decor is also fantastic and interesting. Food it’s really good. The fillet Tokyo style is the favorite Although I don’t eat meat, but I am glad that they all like it. The Bronzino was a little bit salty for me, but it was tasty. The highlight of the night was the dessert platter. It was amazing and we would dine in just to order the dessert platter. We think our waiter who is really kind and very helpful with all our request.
