    We celebrated my fiancé's birthday at Tei-An and had a phenomenal experience. We were so well taken care of and my fiancé felt so special. The quality of food and service was exceptional and the ambience was so perfect. Even though we were seated in the middle at the omakase bar, it felt so intimate and still like we were in our own little bubble. 10 stars! Food was delicious and we loved every second. The middle spot at the bar was perfect and we loved being able to see the entire restaurant fill up around us. Would do it again time and time again!

    This was my first time to go to the Mexican and what a great experience. This was a business dinner with some new clients during the home furnishings market. It’s close to the market center so it made it very convenient. The food and service are fantastic. This definitely won’t be my last time to dine in there.

    Had a wonderful lunch. It was not crowded. I have often enjoyed dinner there when it has been very busy. The food is excellently prepared and plated. I had the grilled octopus entre and it was perfectly cooked / moist and juicy. My friend had one of the most beautiful presentations of beef short ribs I have ever seen. Huge bone in. And the veal meat balls appetizer was also great 👍

    Truly delectable. Salads are huge and should be split 2 or 3 ways. The five of us each ordered a different entree and each was very happy with our choice. Pasta dishes are small enough that, if ravenous, I could have eaten a meat course too in true Italian style.
