| - I went to this restaurant with my family for my parents anniversary. As with other branches, this restaurant offers cell phone calls to notify when a table is ready. As a definite plus, we were offered each a glass of red wine in the waiting area as a courtesy, perhaps seeing we were waiting for a table for 45 mins.
Ambience: this fusion restaurant and bar has exactly the kind of atmosphere you would expect. The lighting was dim, but not too dark, creating a cozy and romantic feel. The restaurant is split into two sections, with the bar on the west side and its abundance of TV screens. The music is appropriately tuned to an energetic kind of music, which adds to the overall dining experience.
4/5 stars
Service: from the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with energetic young waitresses with smiles on their faces. The server who served us took time to explain each dish that we ordered, even though we knew what we were ordering. Very prompt service and accessible. Extra points for that server who cracked a joke at us at the beginning when prepping for drinks! One of the better served restaurants in my opinion.
4/5 stars
Food: I ordered steak and sushi. While I can only speak for my experience, this might be the weakest link. The medium well steak that was served was noticeably cold. However, the steak itself tasted well, it was basked in garlic and ginger, which was a delight. The sushi was a rainbow roll, while not as fresh and authentic as traditional Japanese restaurants, held up the standards of a quality fusion cuisine.
3/5 stars
Price: appropriately priced, 3 dollar signs
Health: this otherwise meat and carbs heavy meal has the option of choosing soup or Caesar salad as an appetizer. Overall my meal amounted to about 25% vegetables, 40% carbs and 35% protein. As far as eating out goes, this is more in appropriate proportions.
3/5 stars
Overall, this restaurant is strong for its good atmosphere and excellent service. While food might not be its strongest suit, it is still a quality fine dining experience for dates, celebrations or just a good time with family and friends.
Overall rating: 4/5 stars
