Been here several times and every time it's amazing. The food, the service, the atmosphere (provided you're not looking for quiet and cozy!) are top notch!

10/10 meal. SAO absolutely lived up to all the hype and praise it’s received. Every dish was incredibly thoughtful, with layers of flavor, perfect balance, and some truly outstanding sauce work. Just an exceptional meal from start to finish.

Our overall experience was absolutely excellent a definite 10/10! Everything about this restaurant exceeded our expectations, from the food and ambience to the service. We were greeted by the hostess, who welcomed us with a smile and took our coats. The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and inviting, with beautiful dim lighting, great music, and lovely painting on the walls that I really enjoyed looking at. Once seated, we were served complimentary bread, and it was absolutely delicious! It was so good that we had to ask for seconds. The bread was soft and practically melted in your mouth, and the sweet, flavorful butter was the perfect addition. For appetizers, we ordered the Caesar salad and crab cake and both were a 10/10. For my entree, I had the ribeye with mac and cheese. The steak was so juicy and cooked exactly as requested. Every bite was delicious! We were too full to order dessert, but since we were celebrating our anniversary, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was also delicious. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the evening. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail made for a wonderful dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely return!

We had a lovely pre-theater meal! The food and service were great, and everything was timed perfectly so we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the theater on time. Highly recommend!

Incredible. I’ve been trying to get here for a while but never found a convenient reservation time. Today was the day! The seasonal dishes were spectacular. My friend and I had such a great early dinner- we received full attention from staff and the noise level was quieter, even at the counter. Highly recommend.

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life food was amazing. The head on shrimp WOW! The curry noodle with crab WOW! The all star seafood rice and the whole fish WOW! The entire experience lived up to the hype. The service is amazing, Taylor was perfect never too far away but always gave you your space and checked on you at the same time. Emmanuel was one of the greatest servers I’ve ever met in my life. His energy is positive and good knowledge just made you more comfortable to enjoy your meal he was amazing
