    The food was wonderful and the service excellent. I went by myself while my family was at a Forum concert. The atmosphere and wait staff made me feel at home.

    Yeah…please don’t let the rumors cause you to miss out on this place. The entire experience was AMAZING! Starting with the Parker rolls js the one thing you should guarantee, I’ll be thinking about them for weeks. We ordered the salmon, rolls, Brussels sprouts, burger, truffle fries and TWO orders of the Chicken and caviar. Also had their take on the old fashioned and a Paloma. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the icing on the cake was the conversation with their customer experience manager. She solidified the visit for us and I cannot wait to go back!

    We were greeted by the friendly hostess and seated promptly in a comfortable area. Our waitress, Jamelah came right over to take care of us. Our orders were placed and our group of 7 was served in a short time. It was a first visit for some and everyone was satisfied with their choices. Some placed orders to go for family members. Excellent menu. Service is premium. We'll be back soon.
