    The restaurant still has a good menu, with the exception of the green tea mille feuille that is not served any more :(. Compared to two years ago, the tables and utensils show wear and need some TLC or replacing. The servers were eager to help but the instructions on the grilling times could not followed as the heat adjustments were not up to par, so unfortunately some the meats came out charged. Overall, I would still recommend the restaurant.

    This establishment is alright. However, it looks run down, which you can tell from the outside of the restaurant. The service was good as the staff attended to our table amicably. The meat wasn't the best quality either.

    Returning after a few years and found the food quality improved, though there is some price hike, but seriously this is quite a good value. Sadly, the former set of attentive staff mostly departed. The manager replaced the attentive Japanese or Asian staff with mostly spanish people who look and feel like they were moved up from busing tables. They are pretty horrible in service quality. Our guy, by the name of Jose (?), was never around and manner-less, joy-less. We may still drop by for meat fix, but would not bring others or recommend this to people who would want an overall good experience.
