If it blew my mind I wouldn't have cared, but I've had much better fish that didn't involve mouthfuls of fishbones. The pork and chive dumplingswere good, not great. The cocktail I got (scotch, port, egg white, some other ingredients) was EXCELLENT. The chocolate cakeand peanut brittle ice cream dessert was so good we ordered a second one.

Salmon bentobox looked delicious so would try that and the mango dessert ice cream was so good.

While the atmosphere is nice, there are so many better options for asian fusion in the area. Would not go back.

I ordered the fried catfish curry and, looking back, might have chosen a different dish from the menu. The lighting was lovely, and the service was excellent.
