The food and service were impeccable. I had 2 non alcoholic drinks, Pom-persimmon and the pineapple ginger. Both were delicious and beautifully garnished. I had an appetizer special, baked oysters, seasoned to perfection. For my main, I had the slow cooked short rib and it is one of the best I ever had. It was served on a bed of celery mash and bok choy. For dessert I had the passion fruit pineapple coconut cake. I also got to finish my dining companions chocolate peanut bomb. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings. Everything was superb. Highly recommended.

Great service, attentive and accommodating. Food was good. Appreciated tofu/vegetarian offers. Expresso Martini excellent. Manhattan “up” delicious. The thyme lemon gin drink very good (but could have used a bit of garnish or something, like thyme sprig).
