The food here is really good. The salad nicoise and ceviche were good sized portions and quite good. The short rib bourguignon was an interesting fusion of French boeuf bourguignon and Vietnamese bò kho. It was super tender and the fries were nice and crispy.

The garlic noodles were tasty, though if you have small kids the flavor may be a bit too garlicky. The ambience was a bit strange because the place was large but not as bustling as you would expect on a Friday night. The tables are also a little high compared to the seat height, which made it difficult for the kids to eat.

Overall, a nice meal.

Very casual service, Roni was pleasant and chill, made great recommendations and we enjoyed dinner very much. Not only was the food tasty, but the dining room was spacious and tables weren’t too close to each other giving us a nice relaxing space to chat over a meal. We had really loved when E&O was here back in the day, and it’s wonderful knowing this place is still bringing an Asian vibe cuisine now as Elyse. I ordered the short rib and it was very hearty portion. My brother got the filet dish and we both had some togo. Lots of flavors to enjoy….and thx again to Roni for being so chill and positive.

We went for a birthday dinner for a party of 10 mid week. Service was slow we were informed they only had partial menu options. The food quality for appetisers was good . The entrees were good quality. We ordered lamb chops were excellent , beef stir fry ( was not great) . Seabass was great. So a combination of hit and miss.

Tasty and services are great. Didn’t know that they also have rooms for corporate event and weddings. Thoroughly enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, mushroom tartlet and the Wagyu steak. The black sesame panna cotta dessert was smooth and just right.

Such a beautiful spot to have a get together. Came for my birthday with my friends and we were sat in the wine cellar room and let me tell you, it was a beautiful experience. 100000000/10. Super attentive and the food and drinks were amazing. Wagyu steak was so tensar and beyond anything I've ever had before. Still dreaming about the Coq Au Vin.

It was a way too noisy— the way tables were laid in the hall didn't help other customers who need privacy.

We went here for our anniversary dinner for the first time. They had a flower centerpiece and champagne ready for us. The atmosphere was very inviting and intimate. The service was excellent. The staff makes you feel special and welcomed. The appetizers, entree and dessert were all very tasty. (Sea Bass and short ribs) We would come back here.
