Great chickpea gnocchi and lychee mocktail! Came here to celebrate graduation— really thoughtful of the owner to stay open for graduation despite it being a Monday!

My husband and I love all ethnic food. While most of the restaurants we love are definitely not upscale(Chilispot, Tikka Tangy, Saffron), they are delicious. We decided to try an upscale version and were not disappointed. Most fine dining is lost on me as I grew with heavily seasoned food(Indian). The food here was wonderful. It was a beautiful blend of spices with nuanced flavors. We had the wontons to start. They were amazing. We had the lamb shank and the drunken noodles and left nothing behind(unusual for us). Cocktails were equally great. The wine list is beautiful. So well curated. We normally bring our own bottle but next time we will try one of the long list of champagnes. Great meal, beginning to end.

Akar was an interesting place. It had a mixture of things like lamb shank, short rib, and duck breast. As well as blue crab donabe, and pork loin. With a Southeast Asian spin, essentially a French/Asian fusion restaurant. Their menu changes regularly apparently, so Im definitely interested in going back. The food was executed very well, and the service was attentive, without being annoying.
Always amazing. The staples stay the same with some rotating dishes. Lobster rangoons are always a must for us. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong here!

Uh-mazing. The staff was friendly and attentive, kind. The lamb shank was the best thing I've eaten in forever. The Blossom cocktail was delicious. Will be back

Came here on a rainy Tuesday evening for dinner with a friend and could not have been more pleased! Without a reservation, we were seated immediately. They have the coziest booths nestled in a modern open design layout. We ordered the gnocchi, popcorn chicken, rangoon ravioli, and asparagus risotto. All of them were absolutely delicious! Flavorful, cooked perfectly, and came out quickly. The restaurant is clean and well kept and the staff are attentive and very knowledgeable about menu items. I am looking forward to returning so I can try the duck breast and shrimp PKM!

The spread we had recently was not packed with in-your-face flavors as before. But the lamp shank special I had when I visited last was the best lamb shank I’ve had. Very tender and flavorful, the mint and pomegranate were a nice touch without over shadowing the lamb. And all of my visits have been amazing.
