    This restaurant never disappoints. It is full of great people, smart chefs, excellent food, superb service. Chef Garcia is one the coolest people I have ever met. Her passion def shows up in the cuisine and cocktails. Ask her for her frozen curry to go, it’s a weeknight treat at home!

    Food was amazing - Chef Garcia delivers. Service was surprisingly spotty for such a high end restaurant. Had to get the attention of wait staff several times just to order additional drinks and food Another server dropped a dish of food near us - which actually splattered all over us. Surprising lack of urgency to clean it up or to check if it splattered all over us (which it did)

    I got to go to the MASTERCHEF EDITION wine & dine and the experience was absolutely unforgettable!!! The service was great thanks to Jason our server! Of course, I got to meet the amazing chefs, take photos and their autographs! Let's not even talk about the food because that was beyond what I was expecting! It was my first time and it definitely won't be the last!!

    Our server, Missouri, was so pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about the dishes and cocktails. We both did the tasting menu which was delicious! The eggplant mousse was absolutely amazing and the Thai broth with the salmon was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had. If I’m getting super nit-picky I would say the shrimp aguachile was a touch too spicy and the carrots were a smidge undercooked but the flavor was fantastic. I’m excited to return and know exactly what I’ll try next time from the a la carte menu.

    The food was incredible but the service was abysmal. I was shocked they only had one server for brunch service - James, and he was terrible, no urgency whatsoever it took 15-20 mins before he even came to table, he apologized but didn’t make up for the entire experience, very slow drink and food service, dessert came out with mains, it was all very haphazard and disappointing given I talked this place up to my friend visiting from NYC. In the end we asked for bill and James was annoyed that we took time to check bill, he then said cheekily after bringing out card back, “wrong table wrong service”!! Very unprofessional for a place like Jun and again very disappointed by entire experience.
