Considering that this is an Asian restaurant I was disappointed to be eating with disposable chopsticks... And then the food came. Amazing!
Andrea BarrezuetaMay 20, 2013
Food was just ok. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Overall feels like overpriced Chinese food but the green tea donut is def worth the trip. Other highlights: tuna tataki BLT, lobster roll, risotto

Do yourself a favor and get the French Toast Napoleon. Skip the Salmon Benedict.

The General? This place should be renamed "The Private". Hyped up, under delivering madness.
Sarah SApril 15, 2013
Making everyone wait by the bar but only having one bartender is not the way to keep diners happy. No it is not. !
Alison GMarch 13, 2013
Skip the pad Thai, it's bland and boring. But DO get the ginormous General's Freezer for dessert!
Andy DFebruary 17, 2013
