    Barbie convinced me to try sushi for the first time here. I was skeptical, but how can you say no to that face? Now it's one of my favorite meals.

    Himalayan Salt Steak is ridiculous. You cook the steak on a 500 degree block of salt at your table. Get it

    If possible, sit in the sunset room during sunset. It's beautiful. As for food, definitely try the truffle hamachi! It's delicious!

    Incredibly disappointed in my Birthday experience. Literally everything I wanted to eat was either NOT available, was dry & flavorless, or overly spicy with no warning.I expect good quality for the $
