Great experience. I took my girlfriend out for a Christmas dinner date. Our server Sean was fantastic and had an excellent knowledge of the food prepared and the drink menu. For the food you have two options, you can either do Al A Carte or go with the chef curated picks, which is a five course meal. We went with the latter as we weren’t very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. The food was excellent, and the service was even better.
