• retirement party, party of 24

  There in a private room with about two dozen people for a retirement party. Nice space. Food was outstanding. The service was responsive in all respect.

• private room dinner

  We had a private room for our group, and the atmosphere was great, but the overall dining experience didn’t live up to the price. The food was good, especially the shrimp satay and sea bass, but we felt very rushed because our entrées arrived less than 10 minutes after the appetizers, giving us almost no time to enjoy each course. For a bill of nearly $2,800, I expected much better pacing, more attentive service, and an experience that felt more like fine dining than being hurried through the meal.

• private room party, party of 30

  This place is so unprofessional. I booked a private room for 30 people. The reservation was scheduled from 9:30pm-3:30am. The waiter Fabio claimed that we had to leave early because they were busy that day which had nothing to do with my reservation that I had scheduled a month in advance, might I add. Then later on they added people to my room as well because there were extra seats. It doesn’t matter that there were extra seats because I paid and booked for them. I had to keep telling the buss boys to call Fabio because he wasn’t attentive at all. We waited half an hour for just a cup of ice. Five thousand was spent for TERRIBLE treatment. Would NEVER recommend a private event here ever.

• work dinner

  By far the best work dinner I’ve attended. Aside from our trendy private room, in an already beautiful restaurant, every dish was served was flavorful. The desserts were just as impressive. I highly recommend the apple pie and crème brûlée.
