Wonderful ambiance. There was a knowledgeable staff in regard to drink choices, plenty non-alc choices as well and food pairings. Would definitely go back with people for the 7 course. Love to try the 7 course if individual is ever offered.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth.
The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - Isaac

Dined at the bar with the a la carte menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. Was able to share four plates between two people and it was perfect. The special with steak, apples, and crispy sticky rice was incredible. Drinks are innovative and fun. Everyone working was very kind and hospitable, including Chef Lee. Ambiance at the bar was soft and quiet but never uncomfortable. Will have to return to the dining room for the 7-course menu.
