Everything about this restaurant was delicious and thoughtfully made. Even though Chef Edward Lee was not there in person, the Chef that was cooking did an amazing job because the food was very flavorful. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations and I am glad I did not give up on making the reservations.

Food was very good with an interesting array of flavors. Service was okay, but live music was too loud for pleasant conversation at the table.
