Recommend sitting at the bar so you can witness excellent chefs and cooks work with fire! Food was fantastic, and service was professional and friendly. We did the tasting menu, and although the pacing was a bit slower than I’d like, the great food and live cooking made up for it. Highly recommend!

Everything on the menu was delicious, and trust me we tried almost everything. Their selection of non-alcoholic beverage options was fantastic for us non-drinkers. And the staff was so kind as to stay late and not rush us even though our dinner ran long.
