Reviews
- drowsy_poplarPlenty of seafood options — the lobster, oysters, and salmon all tasted super fresh, and the sashimi they crack open right in front of you was really light and clean. The dessert section was honestly kinda overwhelming, the white chocolate cheesecake and the mango coconut mousse both had nice layers to them. The vibe is pretty elegant, love the glass ceiling — tons of natural light comes in and the whole place feels really comfortable. But the service was hit or miss, at one point I saw someone pick up a cake, change their mind, and put it back, and nobody said anything. For the food though? Definitely worth it, would come back for the seafood alone.
