This was by far and wide my favorite meal of 2025 to date. The 50/50 martini was so smooth and delicious. The short rib gnocchi dish was an unexpected highlight and a must order. Everyone we encountered at the restaurant was friendly, welcoming and kind. The space is absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend.

Kelly, our waitress, was most helpful and very easy to discuss our choices with. We had the wonderful Duck Salad, which remains one of our favorites. Chunks of duck with mixed greens and pecans. We then had an assortment of fried fish and sushi, all of which was delicious. We topped off the meal with the red bean and mint tea ice creams.
