In Short – Couples and groups sit at wooden tables in the dimly lit dining room decorated with paintings and photos by local artists. The place is often packed and quite lively. The eclectic menu reflects many Far East regions and include adventurous entrees such as the curry-flavored chicken, served with a sweet apple-pear chutney, and the flaky salmon cooked on a slab of cedar board.

Pleasant Surprise, Reminds Me of Hawaii's Pacific-Asian Cuisine

by myronwong at Citysearch

Great combinations with more of a Korean influence, e.g., the Kal-bi skewers and pickled garnish. I really like the rockfish and favor the appetizers to the salads. The bread is awesome! In all, the food is unique and complimented by a fair selection of wines including a good Rex Hill pinot noir. And if you like coconut in your Creme Brulee, it goes well with coffee.

  • Pros: Park in the lot and on the street...fair portions...fried rice for the little one
  • Cons: Former Italian restaurant, still looks like one, decor run counter to the food

Great place!

by crazyfinn at Citysearch

Their happy hour is great! Service is good, it's not loud so you can actually hear your friends. I love this place even though not everything on the menu is my favorite, but then how many like EVERYTHING? The scallop cigars are ingenious and one of my favorite appetizers anywhere. For larger parties, call to get the "big table" in a separate (ish) room at no additional charge.

Good Food, Great Happy Hour

by bjn122 at Citysearch

Consistently great food, highly recommend the soups. The happy hour goes until 7 and includes some of the better appetizers a la carte. Atmosphere is very warm and welcoming while still being quietly classy. The service is great, very friendly and accomodating. Never sat there, but they have a more private area for larger groups, too. All in all, a great place to have a romantic dinner or just relax after work.

  • Pros: quiet, happy hour
