Overall great experience. Good Asian style tapas at reasonable prices given the upscale vibe. They played the best music during dinner: Rufus, Odesza, Flume, Disclosure, Lane 8.....I couldn't believe it.

Wonderful place—a gem that I just discovered. I'm very impressed. Cocktails (with exception of one, see below) were amazing, as well as the food—and the view was gorgeous. Their signature house Old Fashioned is absolutely stellar. The only reason the food wasn't 5 stars is because of an off-menu drink that was not made properly or well. I didn't randomly pick some hard-to-execute cocktail: the bartender actually brought it up in conversation. I have to admit that I get frustrated in this era of craft cocktails when everyone wants to charge $16 or the like for a single drink, but they don't actually know what they're doing. I'd just say that bars should be honest and upfront about what they do and do not know, and convey a willingness to take a drink off the bill if it's swill.

Food was good and some things better. The steak was overcooked and the cheesecake was not good. Service seemed a little unaware for such a high end place. Didn’t ask how we liked our untouched cheesecake etc.

LOVE this restaurant! Great menu. sushi and cocktails were fabulous! Service was outstanding. We had the Brussels sprouts, portobello mushrooms and potatoes, as well as sushi. All was delicious. Dessert included the chocolate tahini cake and blueberry mochi cake. The tahini cake was very good, however, would not recommend the blueberry mochi cake. Extremely dry and unpleasant. Definitely will be on my list of favorites!

Nice meal for a date night. Good bar and view is South Park.
