    We were in Cedar Rapids to attend a concert and meet friends who live in Galena, IL. We were surprised by how good the food and service were, especially since the restaurant had a very modest appearance. We would definitely go back there again. I had the chicken hibachi bowl and my wife had fish tacos. Both excellent.

    We had a very nice dinner! I had a New York strip that was cooked perfect! My wife got the Burrata Salad that she said was absolutely delicious. Our server Kate was very attentive and made sure we were doing ok the entire time! The manager came and made sure everything was great as well and was very sweet as well! Will definitely recommend to friends and family! Amazing dining experience overall!
