This place was DOPE! We got there early but you’ll probably need a reservation after 5. They blew my expectations away! I had the steak medium well perfectly cooked and juicy, it was unbelievable. We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend!!

Unexpected surprise! Drinks were great. Had the blueberry lemonade for a sweet drink and classic dirty vodka martini for savory. Then it was the pork belly baos for appetizers, beet salad, and Riley. Soooo good! Would definitely go back!
