UPDATE: I ate here three times in three weeks and attending the dinner service has changed my eating from 4 overall stars to three. The service was incredibly slow for dinner and we waited over an hour between our third and fourth dishes being brought out. Also, though I know this is a fusion restaurant, the food went from ‘interesting’ for the breakfast selections to ‘confusing/not tasty’ for dinner. We sampled fully half the menu and the popcorn shrimp and sesame tofu were highlights, but several other dishes were straight up nos for me.

The food here is insanely good (except the zucchini noodle salad which was salted probably 5x more than necessary and was essentially inedible). The space is really lovely and provides a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. However, while the waitstaff were nice enough, we were threatened that since we didn’t have a reservation we MUST leave within an hour or we’d be kicked out. But then it took 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive and the food came another half an hour later. So, while it was physically impossible for us to eat in the allotted time, we still felt really pressured to hurry and eat. I think I’ll return mid-week to try some of the other dishes in a lower-pressure setting.
