Great experience for Mother’s Day. To make a reservation was very easy. The food was great and the service was great. My mom and I had a wonderful time! Also we both received 20$ gift cards for Mother’s Day which was an unexpected touch!

Great spot for a high-quality, date night out! The interior is hip and modern with good background music. The food was beautifully presented and very delicious, including the tofu egg jjim, gomtang, and galbi short rib rice bowl. The galbi beef with the uni butter rice was an amazing combination…and we would go back just for that. Finally, the service was great, friendly, and attentive. Thank you Nui team!

The dishes that came to our table were all exceptional. Very nicely prepared and presented, very fresh and high quality ingredients. The service was very good, and the interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated with very high ceilings.

I had a wonderful experience with my family at Joe Fortes. The steak was cooked perfectly and they even gave us complimentary dessert when they learned we were there for celebrating.

    Bikram (King B) treated us like queens and it felt like such a relaxing evening. Great recommendations, service and conversation. He’s our favourite and 100% would recommend this place again and to go find Bikram!

    Food was excellent. There was lots to chose from with interesting dishes that I have not seen in other Indian restaurants. The service was good and friendly. The decor is very elegant and the atmosphere quiet. It is nice to be able to have a conversation over a meal without straining your voice. Overall it is good value and great to find this somewhat hidden gem of a restaurant
