"Came here for their soft opening and took my mother here for her birthday dinner. The location is gorgeous, they definitely did some great renovations with the place. They are a sister company of Cheesecake Factory, so there are a lot of similarities. The food portion is giant and you will definitely not be able to finish it all. You can share them most of time. They also have an extensive and diverse menu as well. They also do not take reservations, but the restaurant is pretty large and has a good amount of seating, inside and outside. I really love the chicken and waffles for brunch it's massive portions but also delicious. I would recommend that. The Pot Roast Cheese fries are a lot and the meat is tender, but my favorite would be the double stuffed potato spring rolls, it's like mashed potatoes in eggroll form. They are super good and probably not healthy for you, but worth a try. I wasn't too much of a fan of the french dip sandwich however. Their pastas are good and the fish and chips are good as well. The salad is too much for one person, I also wasn't too much of a fan of the southwestern salad, too much going on not much salad. The dessert is where it's at, the strawberry shortcake is amazing, and so is the butter cake. I would completely just come back for dessert. I enjoy the appetizers and the desserts the most each time. I haven't quite found a lunch/dinner entree that is parallel to the other foods."

"Came for lunch with a friend today. I went spontaneously to the liqueur up the block and got a beautiful Napa Valley Sauvignon blanc to go with my fish (they are BYOB). We ordered the pepper tuna salad and Lobster tempura as starters. Pepper tuna was okay. The pepper crust itself was great. But I think it was over torn because the middle of the fish was playful instead of refreshing as if it smoked tuna. But the Wasabi Dressing was slightly exaggerated. Less is more, because the nasal fire was sometimes overwhelming. The lobster was good quality meat. But the dough was bland, and the lobster meat itself was not seasoned. As a result, the cook sits exclusively on the mango sauce to season the entire bite of lobster tempura. This does not provide a balance within the several layers of food. The best bite I took was when I drank it in soy sauce with a slight immersion in the mango sauce. And it was delicious, but unfortunately it was the last bite. Now on the main dish: Sushi and Sashimi for two. The part was great. The best fish was white tuna, tuna, salmon, red snaps and yellow tail belly. Regular yellow tail was not great. The ocean taste was sharp, instead of refreshing and the texture was quite granular. But that was the only fish that was not good because the yellowtail bell was delicious. The spicy tuna reel and shrimp Tempoura reel were also beautiful. The best part was the price. Because for the amount we ordered it came to about $70. The service was good. Food has great potential. But in my experience it was best average. I would give it 3.5 stars, but I will be up to 4 rounds because the price is very cheap. I would definitely come back as I live in the city nearby."
