Intrigued by this new dining spot, I explored each room, finding them uniquely decorated yet all sharing a cohesive SoCal vibe. The staff members were welcoming and greeted me with genuine smiles. I chose to dine in the indoor/outdoor area, which was adorned with bamboo and straw blankets, and surrounded by bamboo trees lining the outdoor boundaries of the restaurant. For dinner, I ordered the house salad and grilled mahi-mahi. The service was attentive, and the food was delicious. Additionally, they offer live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, making for a fantastic night out. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try; I’m sure you’ll enjoy it and want to return!
