Glenda

The food and service were excellent. Wait staff were knowledgeable, attentive (but not overly, which was excellent) and knew the menu well. Feed me menu was great value. We found that the restaurant was perhaps a little too warm and wine by the glass was limited. Overall a fabulous experience. Thank you!

Asian Fusion at its finest. Did the showstopper menu and they accomodated our dietary restrictions (pregnancy and allergies). Everything was so good. The price is so worth it for the variety of food and amount. Servers were lovely and atmosphere was peaceful despite having lots of people around. Love a restaurant where tables are not too close to each other!
