This place is a must try, and you won’t regret! Everything we ordered was so delicious and unique. We loved the creativity on drinks and food. If you like spicy drinks, you can’t miss the spicy watermelon margarita - with a kick and so refreshing. The mezcalade is smoky and delicious. The duck over sushi rice is innovative and tasty, a nice balance of savory and glutinous flavors. The steak is cooked just right and so tender. Highly recommended to add grilled shrimps on salads as the it’s so juicy and perfectly grilled. Our server Eric is so friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

We had an amazing meal! We shared appetizers (fried dumplings and samosa). I had a seafood curry dish and my husband had a beef dish. The staff was pleasant and attentive. I would recommend that you make a visit.
