Food very good, very good value for the price, and again very good; 4 people for $200. (not including drinks). Waiters were very helpful with seating for dinner and very helpful for the venue seating as we were attending a concert at Yoshi's directly after dinner. Highly recommend food, and service.

Hands down the best experience we've ever had at any restaurant! Everyone was so accommodating, explained the food, and was so considerate and courteous. I have never tasted such a combination of flavors, and when we go back, I may just order all of the sides because they were my favorite part! The steak was amazing, but I expected that. I was not prepared for side dishes that kept us discussing which flavors we ghouth we detected. This is a place we will never stop talking about!

Great food and great service. It was very easy to get a table on a Thursday evening. The noise level was ok. The only slight hiccup was that they didn’t have the champagne listed on the menu. Otherwise a great evening.
