    Good but the appetizers were unimpressive and all servings (even mains) were soooo insanely small I laughed. Left hungry

    The food was okay, the menu changed since my last visit and some great items aren’t offered anymore. The highlight was the chicken appetizer. The menu is limited and some modifications aren’t allowed this made a limited menu even more limited. The fusion concept seems to be interesting, for example the curry chicken entree is served with pasta and limited curry. The drunken noodles is flavorful but the entree portion could have been an appetizer.

    Very happy with this restaurant, food was excellent. Especially enjoyed the lump crab fried rice. Wine is interesting though mostly pricey. Interesting cocktail list. It is very lively and was loud, but expected that. Love the speakeasy decor.

    Booked this for Valentine’s Day drinks with another couple - the down stairs bar closed early which we weren’t aware of. They came around with checks without telling us that it was last call and they just turned the lights on. Really poor experience and wish we just had drinks at home instead
