Reviews
- sparkling_lynxI ordered a few of their specialty dishes and honestly everything tasted really good. The fresh asparagus with scallops and the taro with black sesame were both super impressive, like really nice texture and flavor. The restaurant itself is quiet and cozy, perfect for hanging out with friends or even a business dinner. The staff were super friendly and the food came out fast which was a nice bonus. Parking's easy too since it's inside a five-star hotel. Overall a really smooth experience, would definitely come back.
