Went here for a dinner out.Ambiance is intimate and relaxing.Service is super kind and relatively timely.The menu is unique, boasting unexpected flavor combinations that work beautifully together.The steak and broccoli pasta had a delicious earthy flavor.Coconut miso salmon was outstanding.Would definitely recommend dining here.

Thanks Gabriella!
We came here for dinner on a Friday.I ordered a drink (mixed sake) cocktail but found it too sweet and i could not taste much alcohol.Other than that the food is very good.Shy of Michelin star standards but they are intentionally seasoned and well made.We ordered from their fall menu, which is a good selection.Overall I am very happy with the food, especially the Plum and the Beretta starters.I recommend checking out this place at least once, and see if their Asian / Italian fusion suits your taste.I believe the service and the food won’t disappoint.The decor is warmly, especially on a a rainy day.I live in the neighborhood, and find the ambience here to be one of the best for dates/nice dinners.Try it out!

Thanks Yvonne! We appreciate your kind words and we add new dishes and rotate our menu consistently so make sure you stop by frequently 😉.Hope to see you again neighbor!
The concept of Asian influenced Italian dishes is captivating so we finally decided to try this place.For the highlight, we really enjoyed the truffle Mushroom Vegan lasagna! The truffle is intense and the tomato base was really enhanced the flavor.Highly recommended this dish! The Wagu steak was alright, the sauce was good but the steak wasn’t live to the expectation.Dessert we had matcha tiramisu, I was all exited because I love matcha so much.It came out quick and the mascarpone was so dense, clearly it was stored in the fridge for too long.It wasn’t too sweet so that’s a plus but I do not enjoy the overall flavor.
