We were promptly seated on an indoor outdoor patio. All of the servers were attentive and friendly. The manager also checked on us a couple of times which was nice. It wasn’t intrusive. It was just a brief ‘Can I get you anything?’ which is always welcome. We ordered several appetizers, some noodles and a couple of entrées and just shared them with the table to get a taste of a bunch of different things. They did a great job at coursing out the food. The order was exactly as we had placed it. The timing was perfect and the food was very creative and delicious. The ambience is very cozy and charming. The restaurant wasn’t too loud, but it still had a good energy to it. My husband and I are debating if it is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. It is pretty exceptional in many ways. I highly recommend.

We were seated immediately and ended up with a table to ourselves which was nice. It wasn't too crowded due to the time we picked for our visit. The server came over immediately and took our drink order and she was great. She took our food order and before we'd finished the salad our chef arrived and went over our food selection and then he put on quite a show which kept us entertained during the entire meal. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed our visit very much.
