    Always a great place to eat. It's a beautiful setting with consistently good food. We were a party of 8 with 4 kids and the kids cleaned their plates. Thank you for being a terrific spot for our holiday season dinner!

    If you expect to be full after dinner - not going to happen. Went home and had another meal.

    Wait staff was so excellent. Food is always fresh and great - especially seasonal items. The brussel sprouts were amazing. Today I tried the thai noodle bowl with shrimp and it was great. I also love the korean noodle bowl. Also nice wine selection. Love this place!

    It’s always great. I love this restaurant I had something new today, the veggie burger, it was good but not as fabulous as other things I’ve had. Loved the side salad & dressing. Delicious!

    The worst thing about our experience was the awful fetid smell close to the kitchen. Unable to sit anywhere but close to the Colorado Blvd. anyway, to remedy this, it’s impossible to eat there if that continues.
