went with wife. had a bunch of tapas primarily. no sushi or entrees. grilled romaine was very good. pork belly was outstanding, but probably not the most popular dish. very fatty. i loved the dish. the duck quesadilla was packed with meat. flavors were excellent. this was my wife's favorite dish. the fish tacos and robata grill (beef tenderloin) were solid. interesting dishes, but nothing outstanding. the robata grill was a great value. the blue crab risotto was prepared perfectly and tasted wonderful (i noticed roger li preparing it himself). the pork belly and risotto will be reordered on the next trip.
wife had a green tea cosmo which she enjoyed, and i ordered the riesling on the menu which really went well with just about everything, but especially the risotto.
staff was pretty nice and professional. the host is a little arrogant, but he stopped by many times to add his commentary on certain dishes and to check up on us. the server was very attentive, though she did not have much to offer as to suggestions. i was hoping for some more adventurous recommendations, but she went with the typical popular dishes.
i really enjoyed the entire experience. i highly recommend this restaurant based on the food we tasted. i cannot speak about the sushi or entrees.
