Such an excellent choice for date night dinner. The waiter brought a tasting of two wines so I could decide. She answered all of our meal requests questions. We were able to modify/sub items in the meal with no charge and everything down to the dessert was excellent. 10/10 experience.

It was our first time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised. As vegetarians, there are plenty of choices and we thoroughly enjoyed the small plates. We will be back to try some of their sushi and other dishes we were not able to try on the first trip. The pickled okra were delicious. We had Gabriel as our server and he was excellent. We look forward to trying out the Ramen place, too. I was curious that I did not see items with tofu or silken tofu on the menu - are these available at all on the 2F restaurant? Cheers, Ashwin

A very large selection of Sims but still make a reservation before you head in. You have to make a reservation for food and for simulator driving. Food is overall great as is the service. Excellent ambience. Great place to watch the World Cup, 2026.
