                    Our family has been coming to this restaurant for nearly 20 years, and taking the boat has always been such a special part of the experience. We arrived with no idea that boat reservations are now required. Unfortunately, the staff was less than helpful, even as they could see my concern about my 80-year-old mother-in-law having to navigate what felt like a million stairs just to get to our dinner reservation. Our table chef was wonderful, and we genuinely enjoyed him, but the overall experience just wasn’t the same without the boat. What made it even more frustrating was that the restaurant was practically empty, so it was difficult to understand why we couldn’t simply take the boat as we had for so many years. When families return to a restaurant year after year, it’s not just for the food. It’s for the experience, the traditions, and the memories that come with it. After nearly two decades of visiting, it’s disappointing to feel that those special touches are no longer being prioritized.

                    We were not impressed. They added shrimp fried rice on for 20$ for my sister, she said she didn’t order it and they still charged us anyways cause he had already cooked it. Couldn’t understand a word the chef was saying. Food was very mid for over 100$ a person. We would have tried to fight the over charge but we had to get back to our baby and it had already taken so long to get our check. Would not recommend.
