The banana pudding is incredible!! The menu doesn’t do it justice. It has a miso-carmel sauce and matcha chantilly with fresh banana and wafers! Perfect way to end any meal!

The Steak Experience was everything we hoped and knew it was be. The steaks were absolutely perfect. They were four side sauces that were equally amazing, however the steak was phenomenal all its own. The side options for the Experience were perfect pairings. The service was top notch all around. Definitely a treat-yourself indulgence for a date night or gathering of friends.

    The Customer Service is absolutely amazing just from the valet all the way through even to the head Chef, who walked our main course out talked to us, thanked us for coming, literally from start to finish and don’t even get me started on the food. The chef’s palette is truly incredible. The fusion that he has created is like no other. This was genuinely a great experience. I can’t wait to come back and more importantly I can’t wait until I get to Mission star
