I got charged 100 dollars from this restaurant. I cancelled my reservation and have proof of cancellation, which I sent them. I have emailed twice, called and left a message. It’s been five days and zero response. We have a home in Highlands. Never make a reservation here unless you want to be part of their scam for still charging you an outrageous fee if you even have proof that you cancelled the second they sent you a confirmation reminder. Simply wrong in every way.

Our takeaway from this restaurant is Vivian, our super friendly and helpful server. The food was good. We had several appetizers including the Brussels, dumplings, and some bun things. The dumplings, paired with one of the sauces they brought, were by far the most tasty. Our cocktails were pretty good. The atmosphere is really nice but if we were to go back, it would be for Vivian. She was the most delightful part of the evening!

Amazing food and gracious service we had the lotus Buns, Ramen , dumplings and amazing drinks with the incredible Brooke at the Bar .. we didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was packed, but Brooke took great care of us. Brooke is an awesome Bartender and made our evening wonderful. Try the Korean pear drink highly recommended by Brooke and unbelievably delicious. Try the Stubborn Buddha you won’t regret it !!!

I cant believe Im still thinking about this a month later. It just insane when I pay $180 for three people, one glass of wine and the food isn’t cooked, the server is MIA, then reprimanded me for not letting him know. “Next time don't wait so long to let us know” literally- where were you?? I stopped another waiter just to het attention. We also had to ask for silverware. We ate thinking about coming back up and Ive already made a note to pack a cooler because our lunch was barely functional - $95 for three for meh. Our dinner was not great and the coffee was terrible. If you are billing yourself as an elevated community- you need to up the food game. Also- both the hostess at Stubborn Bull and stubborn buddah were hilariously arrogant, provided some good laughs- like we were asking to enter buckingham palace.Heres the other thing- all of these reviews- could have received outreach from the management or some kind of response- all could het a thank you or Im so sorry we fell short- but that fact that no one is actively engaged with reviews-...

We were really let down by this restaurant which we visited mid August. The prices are way out of line, a simple Pad Thai was listed at $36, which is hard to justify. The service didn’t help either, our server seemed more interested in chatting and sipping wine with the owner than paying attention to the tables. We had been recommended this place through Old Edward Inn & Spa, which had spoken highly of the restaurants they own, so our expectations were much higher. Unfortunately, the reality was noisy, disorganized, and unprofessional. As we were leaving, the owner didn’t even acknowledge us or ask about our experience, instead focusing on drinks and showing staff wedding dresses on her phone. Overall, it was a disappointing visit, and we won’t be...

The food was creative, full of flavor and definitely above expectations. We had the crispy rice, duck, pad Thai and spicy grouper. Each dish had its own flavor profile and fresh ingredients.

Our server Jared was very attentive and witty!

The atmosphere was relaxing and the art was stunning. The outside patio had heaters so guests were still enjoying their time in the cold. We have had some issues in busy restaurants where you can’t have a conversation but they were busy and we could still hear each other and enjoy our...
