We went here for my birthday and loved everything about the experience. From the moment we set foot in the restaurant the staff engaged with our kids and was constantly checking to make sure all was OK. The ambience was intimate and not too noisy. Every dish was amazing - I could cut the filet mignon with a butter knife and the kids ate it all. My salmon was perfectly cooked and I loved the sweet potato/ginger puree. The oysters, sashimi, and salad were all tasty. Drinks were a nice take on some classics and well-balanced. The special mandarin mouse with sesame seed ice cream was surprisingly good. We will definitely be coming back!
