At first, we thought he was just being humorous and laughed along, but as the night progressed, we found ourselves feeling increasingly upset. He carelessly cleared away our champagne and tea, insisting that we move our champagne to the center of the table because he was uncomfortable with us having it there. When my friend requested a tea refill, he remarked something to the effect of, “Wow, they really despise this alcohol.” This made my friend anxious, and when she inquired if there was any alcohol in the tea, his response was, “That was sweet, and it clearly fell through.” When he returned to replace the tea, he stared at my friend until she finally said, “I’m waiting for you to take that stray and pour it into the new glass.” This behavior made us quite uncomfortable until we asked for boxes for our leftover food. He seemed offended and said, “You’re suddenly full?” I genuinely hope his behavior was meant as playful humor that we simply didn’t understand, but his professionalism with other tables contrasted sharply with his attitude toward us, making it feel personal. As we were likely the youngest couple in the restaurant, we wondered if he noticed this and tried to highlight the age difference. In the end, our bill came to $250, including the 20% tip that was automatically added. We didn’t feel that our experience was worth this amount, and given how we were treated, we would not have tipped the full 20%. We are disappointed that the glowing reviews we had heard were not reflected in our experience.

My main concern was that we were seated too close to other diners, which made the experience less enjoyable.

Our expectations were high, and the food exceeded them. The Korean bistro salad was wonderfully balanced and inventive, while I highly recommend the curry vegetable pasta and pork roll. Our server was prompt and friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with him. We will definitely return!

The broccoli side dish was simply the best broccoli I've ever tasted—full of flavor and perfectly cooked! My party ordered several duck dishes, and each one was incredible. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I personally had the pork belly, and it was absolutely fantastic! It was incredibly flavorful, and all the textures came together in perfect harmony. To top it all off, the lemon tart dessert was simple yet delightful, with just the right balance of tartness and sweetness. Overall, every aspect of our visit was outstanding! The service was stellar, the food was fantastic, and the cozy atmosphere made it even better. I will definitely be back!
