                  Kim was our waiter and provide excellent recommendations. We had the salmon for wife and Scallops for myself - both entrees served with black rice, brussels sprout with chili sauce under the entrees was perfect to bring out the flavor of the entire dish. The salmon was melt in your mouth delicious. Excellent soups and pear salad was fresh. Great experience for our anniversary dinner. Recommend for special occasion or to impress. Give extra time to find parking on street.

                  We enjoyed a lovely lunch with out of town friends. I think we lingered a bit too long but the staff was hospitable and didn’t rush our visit. Great food. The bread pudding is the best I’ve ever had!

                  We had a wonderful experience at the Mustard Seed. My family was in town for a memorial and when we shared that information our server was so kind and had already been very attentive. The food was delicious.
