The service is decent and the offerings are pretty solid, although the dessert is fantastic. Some dishes from brunch:\n1. hamachi sashimi with ponzu reduction - fresh and sliced thin with a tiny drizzle of ponzu\n2. salmon sushi - pretty meh salmon that didn't really taste that fresh\n3. saffron risotto with truffled honey - al dente rice and bland cheesy sauce. Definitely not worth it\n4. shrimp takoyaki - the shell was nice and crispy but the inside was a bit on the soft, too chewy side\n5. papaya salad - make-your-own with a nice selection of toppings, including Chinese sausage\n6. kung pao chicken - passable but I did like the addition of zucchini\n7. beef with broccoli - very salty but not too bad\n8. roasted root vegetables with honey glaze - flavorful and tender with the perfect amount of sweetness\n9. mushroom carbonara - very good with a savory and creamy blend of pasta, peas, and mushroom in a white cream sauce\n10. wild boar bolognese - decent with a savory tomato sauce but the gnocchi was too soft and overcooked\n11. panna cotta goat cheese tower - loved this mild blend of goat cheese and a mandarin segment for decor and zest\n12. zuppa di pesce - very savory broth with plenty of jumbo shrimp, whitefish, and clams\n13. gelato bar - try the pistachio and classic vanilla!\n14. white chocolate apricot cone - just get 6 of these. Seriously, they are that good.\n15. chocolate bundt cake - rich and decadent with a semi-soft chocolate-ty interior\n16. cheesecake - pretty standard\n17. donut and passionfruit mousse - very fruity and sweet although my friend LOVED it\n18. chocolate mousse - very rich and had the consistency of hot fudge rather than a mousse\n19. strawberry eclair - decent but not amazing\n20. chocolate espresso rice kris pies treat - it's a nice twist on a classic and I enjoyed the blend of marshmallow, chocolate, and espresso\n21. macaroons - tried the raspberry and chocolate banana and felt that the shells and interior were way too chewy\n22. roasted salmon - decent with a buttery glaze \n23. prime rib - tender and flavorful\n\nOverall, a solid 3 stars for good food and service. $35 for brunch with an option to upgrade to a 2 hr long period of endless mimosas and bloody mary's at $47 total."^^ . .
