Jun 22, 2026"The roof top is amazing seeing the beautiful sunset! The food was very tasty and scrumptious. There wasn’t a single item we didn’t like. We had the Steamed Manila Clams the broth was amazing. We also had the Pho Bo Xao and Monkfish for our entrees. Both were absolutely delicious. Then for desert we had Housemade Softserve and a Honey Mousse Expresso very unique. The bartender Stella was amazing. I would highly recommend a visit!!"

Got their version of an espresso martini, the honey espresso mousse, probably the best mixed drink I’ve had all year. The interior is such a cool vibe, very cozy and tasteful. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time."

The drink options were really fun and tasted delicious. Although the menu was small, there was a good variety. The food had a lot of flavor and felt very unique. Finally, the service was a little slow but everyone was really kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back!"

Apr 01, 2026"This was a truly great dining experience, start to finish! Exactly what you crave when you are ready to spend some money on a nice dinner - everything is 100% worth it. The host was incredibly kind, and our server Brian checked in at all the right times, which I know can be hard to do! We got the fluke to start and it was perfectly light, nutty and fresh - amazing fish. I got the black cod and it was really the best piece of fish I have had in a LONG time. It was perfectly cooked and the bed of golden coconut rice and curry it came on top of was heavenly. My friend got the prime rib and sang its praises as well. We ended with the pandan soft serve and…yeah wow! Can’t wait to be back in the summer!"
