We’ve been to Region several times. We had the pasta dish and the spa bowl. The pasta dish was bland and the spa bowl had an odd sauce at the bottom. Bang bang cauliflower was very good per usual though.

We arrived for our reservation and were seated immediately…. Which can be unusual … how many times do you have a reservation and just have to wait? Our server and supporting wait staff were top notch … keeping our waters filled and removing plates and making sure we had fresh drinks … it was spot on. The food was delicious but the service made this place impeccable. The one unfortunate situation is that we were seated near a window. The parking spots faced right at us .. so every time someone arrived or left, the headlights were blasting on us.
