Currently, our back parking lot is under construction due to the development of Stockman's Park. Parking is limited, but the parking lot is still accessible from L Street, or Railroad Avenue. We also have a few designated parking spaces near our rear entrance, but if all of those spaces are full, there is also a parking garage on Railroad Avenue. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience!

    Valentine’s price fixe menu was exceptional. We frequently go to Uncle Yu’s, but this menu was a huge step up. Every dish more delicious than the last. It was so, so good. We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants, and this menu was as good as, or better, than some of those meals. Bravo.

    We went for the Chinese New Year’s celebration pairing menu and it did not disappoint. All four courses were delicious. My favorite were the dumplings with the Petite Chablis

    The food was not very good. There was little flavor and seasoning. While the food was healthy, the best dish was the greens with pears salad.

    Truly the BEST Experience here this past Sunday evening!! First of all the host who allowed us to sit and dine near the bar was spectacular!! This is the third time I’ve been to the restaurant and loved every single time we came here!! The appetizer Eggplant Bites was so good 😊 Our cocktails Mango Martini and Whiskey sour was delicious 😋 Next, we had dinner which was to die for!!! Yum Yum Yum!! We had the Fried Tofu with vegetables and Calamari dish… both were very tasty and scrumptious!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Lastly, we had the Limoncello Cake 🍰 which was made perfectly for us!! We CANNOT WAIT to come back to relive this experience again 😘❤️❤️🌟🥂😎 Our server was splendid and very attentive!! I don’t remember her name, but she had dark hair and had a warm smile 😊

    Intentionally overcharged by the waiter. While this has not been my typical experience, it is worth noting. I dine here frequently and always start with a Cosmopolitan and this time something was off - it tasted like soap and there were a lot of bubbles that didn't go away (my friend agreed). I let the waiter know and he offered to have another one made. He brought the second one and I let him know it wasn't right either and I let him know I'm considering wine instead - he says he wants to talk to the bar staff and at the same time I ask about the two tiered pricing for wines by the glass and he says prices are for either 3oz or 6 oz. He leaves and comes back with a 3rd one and again it is not tasting right and I ask the waiter for a taste of a champagne and a rose. After receiving the two samples I proceed to order the champagne. All of these exchanges with the waiter are fine - no issues. When I get the bill I see the champagne charge is 32.00. I look at the menu and notice the champagne is listed as 16.50 3oz/32.00 6oz). I'm surprised as my champagne was in a standard flute and was just over half full. So I proceed to tell the waiter I'm surprised to see the charge for $32.00 and he says "oh, remember you asked me about the two tiered pricing", which he never asked me what size champagne I wanted. Rather than argue with him I accept his response and leave. It was still bothering me when I got home so I pour 3oz in a standad champagne flute (it fills the glass just over half full) and 6oz (the glass overflows) and so I confirmed the waiter flat out lied and intentionally overcharged me. I thought about going back to address the issue with the manager but I didn't.

    Food was fine. $110.00 for 2 entrees & 2 glasses of wine. Ridiculous. Service was great. But overall skip
