Great lunch experience! I come here regularly - the food is always delicious and the price points are reasonable - especially considering how expensive downtown has become. That being said, on this date I splurged on the scallop risotto lunch special and it was out of this world!! Incredibly delicious without being overwhelming in size or price ($32). Kudos to the chef - it was so worth it. And my guest also enjoyed the poke bowl, which is my normal go-to.

The food was excellent, we had the grilled chicken Cobb salad and a cheeseburger. Staff is friendly and professional, only issue was it took a while to get the order taken and then to get the check at the end. Not helpful when you’re on a business lunch break. Still recommend.

Rodney (Head Server) was absolutely outstanding. The customer service he provided was impeccable and we would come back solely for that. Overall, the entire staff had great customer service. The food was pretty good - we tried the pork and leek dumplings, the wonton-wrapped jumbo shrimp, sweet & spicy wings, steak frites and the Caesar salad. The steak was over-cooked (more medium-well to well-done) and under seasoned, but the other dishes were absolutely delicious. Prices are what you would expect - save the wonton-wrapped jumbo shrimp, that one gave some sticker shock. Totally worth it in the end. Ambiance was really nice - high end feel. Music was really good too. Highly recommend the restaurant update the menus on their website and on their search engine listings as the seasonal items change so diners are able to see if the restaurant is a good fit for their needs.

Slow lunch service on the day I went which isn’t common here as many diners are having business meals. The chicken on my Cobb salad was inedible; super hard and extra dry.

Service was good, but the food was subpar. I’m told the swordfish was good, but my Caesar salad was just alright and my steak was extremely overcooked.
