Bon endroit pour un dîner d'affaires. La nourriture était bien mais sans plus. Service très minimal, seulement pour prendre la commande & nous faire payer à la fin, on ne nous a pas redonné d'eau pendant le repas.

We went there on a pretty busy evening. We ordered pad Thai, but quite frankly, this taste leaves room for improvement since I've been to a bunch of Thai restaurants, & this place does not offer the best flavor, particularly for this dish. The portion here is not as generous as other places either

Also, we find the service here is slow. Even though it is a busy night, the restaurant should have enough staff to serve all of the customers here. The atmosphere is great. Makes great photos. But if you're here for the taste & service, you might find other better spots in the city. So 3 out of 5 stars all things considered.

Nice cocktails, food is nice. Service is ok depending on who is serving. We had drinks here few times in the afternoon & were helped by a very nice guy.

Party of 8 that made a 745 reservation. Restaurant wasn't busy, but took a while to get all our drink & food orders taken. While the drinks were no problem, the food order, which to be fair was quite complicated failed to be taken by the machine - a glitch. So we reordered & when it came some thing we're incorrect - an inevitability. A wonton soup came that wasn't ordered, a sesame salad that came with chicken meant to be tofu.

The staff handled it all with as much grace as they could muster given the restaurant was closing. In the end we got 90% of our original order & it tasted ok. Not sure I would come back, but others should try. Just perhaps not close to closing & not with a large group.

Bel locale molto curato.
Personale attento alla clientela: visto che c'era un po di attesa per i nostri piatti ci hanno portato un piccolo assaggio per stemperare la fame.
I piatti sono ben fatti e anche belli da vedere.
Può essere sicuramente una alternativa per passare una piacevole serata.
