Delicious food in a more luxurious space than you find in a shopping mall. Excellent service including the wine service by the sommelier. Not overly expensive. The duck was perfectly seasoned and cooked and so was the burger. Ample but not the grossly gigantic portions like in other places. This was our second visit and we loved it again.

This place was busy like a restaurant should be a sigh of a good restaurant. The server wasn't sure about the type of wine we wanted so she brought their sommelier. He knew exactly what we were looking for. The wine list was excellent and the food was great. Yes, we would come back, my test of a good place.
We went here for our anniversary. They were fantastic. Service was great, Paul did a fantastic job. My wife had the chicken over pasta and I had the pork chop. They had a beautiful chocolate cake with a “Happy Anniversary!” chocolate for us.
Worst steak I've had at a fine dining restaurant and then the second one was as bad as the first. Instead of comping the steak, we should have had the meal comped. They didn't seem that worried about it. My friend and I have been regular customers for several years but sadly I don't think we will be back

Very slow service. Hardly find the waiter. Very expensive for the meal. Will be a while to come back, if we do. Sorry for the comments but that is what we experienced for first time there.

This restaurant is near a mall but doesn't feel like it. The staff is ultra friendly and thoughtful. Wonderful wine list. Reasonable prices for many bottles. Food was amazing. The ribeye had great flavors. Cooked perfectly. Duck breast maybe the best I have had. Huge shrimp . Really tasty. Recommend but but bill was $440 for 3. Did include 2 bottles of Napa cab

We celebrated my husband's birthday dinner with friends had a fabulous time. Our Waiter, Paul, was attentive and knowledgeable about both wine and dinner menus. Steak & Seafood was perfectly cooked. Generous portions. Atmosphere was relaxed, somewhat upscale yet not pretentious. We'll be back for sure.

Great service, amazing wine selection (as expected) and tasty food. The steak and duck entrees were delicious, the asparagus and mushroom sides amazing and the calamari app so tasty. Even got a bonus of a bigger bottle of wine (1000ML) than expected.

Appetizers were ho hum, the bread was best (ought to be for $7.50.) Of 4 entrees, 2 were delicious and the other two were adequate. Duck & short ribs really good, cioppino a bit bland, but seafood was cooked well, mahi a bit fishy. The wild mushrooms were delicious. Wine is pretty pricy and they didn't have our first choice. Pretty good overall. Service was very good.

Wonderful time and food! Calamari was sub-par but the wine, shrimp & scallops, and all of our sides were so tasty! Highly recommend the bread and butter too. Our waitress seemed a little either annoyed by us or maybe just not super friendly but she must have left and then our new waiter was way more welcoming and fun to talk to. He makes a good bartender too! Definitely would return.
Our server was very good and provided us with what we asked for with a smile. Ordered to share the burrata caprese salad which was a bit of a joke; it had 4 small tomato pieces and a smear of burrata almost like it it was butter on a toast... barely there, with no dressing. Very bad. I also ordered the scallops and shrimp which were slightly charred but gave the whole plate a burned flavor... the rice it came with was tasteless. Very bad as well. Also ordered the asparagus fries and these were very good. Cocktails were extremely good (prune manhattan & cantaloupe martini) and the California Chardonnay I had was very good as well.
From the friendly greeting to the great service and recommendations we received from our server Paul, the experience was exceptional. A final treat was meeting the owner/founder JC and his lovely wife on our way out. Mahalo for a great evening.

Four of us had dinner. Most meals were good to excellent. Fish was a bit dry, but the rest of the meal was excellent. Review your final bill. There were major mistakes in ours that they agreed with and quickly corrected.
It was a great experience here. Very beautiful scenery and the food was an 8/10 I would love to come for lunch some day again .the service was great I forgot my servers name but he was great.

The entire experience was a farce. Waited 18 minutes for seating; requested inside, but the hostess insisted on outside. Server Kevin wrongly claimed the wine was from Tuscany, Italy—it was local Californian. Basics like paper and salt were overlooked. Staff displayed an 'I don't care, I just work here' attitude. Dinner at 7:30 was overly bright, airport-like, and excessively noisy. The dining atmosphere lacked class. Located in a shopping center, this restaurant is a typical American establishment with a noisy conveyor, subpar ingredients, and intrusive service. Overall, a mediocre and regrettable $280 experience—I won't be returning.
