Beautiful ambience with Great drinks and a nice menu. The waiter had appetizers, pastas,fish,steak specials all memorized and one sounded better than the others. Amazingly good meal cannot wait to go back. Nice wine menu as well. Desserts a must also. Note they do add on 3.5 for credit cards which adds up at the prices here so luckily I had plenty of cash.

Menu was innovative and delicious! Service top notch. Only objection was that the kimchi with the tuna was way too spicy hot! We've had kimchi before, but this was something to not touch, or you would not be able to taste the tuna. Our waitress, Janice, had warned us ahead of time, but having had kimchi before, there was no concern. But this kimchi was unbearable! Janice was an outstanding waitress, answering questions and very attentive throughout the meal. She stated she would give the chef our feedback, and we trust that she did. All other dishes were fantastic!
