"Walked about 200 feet from my hotel to get here! Varied Asian menu with Chinese, Japanese, Thai and maybe other cuisines on the menu. The Yelp reviews on sushi are good, and that's what all the other diners were eating. Sadly, I ordered Thai! My drunken noodles with chicken wasn't bad, but there was more oil and less chicken than I would have liked, and my noodles were a bit gummy. I wouldn't order it again. If I were to go back, I'd order sushi! The restaurant itself is quite tired, and it seems like they're struggling to hang on. Kitchen is very fast. Service is brusque."

I got the spicy crab roll, shrimp tempura, and gyoza. Everything was incredibly bland and tasteless except the gyoza which were too salty. I actually questioned if I had covid because of the complete lack of flavor. I have no idea how this restaurant has such a high rating, it’s incredibly misleading especially because the presentation looks appealing. I have had better sushi from my school cafeteria than this. The pricing for the taste and portion is definitely not worth it. Do not recommend.

"I stayed at the attached Hampton hotel on business and was looking for a great dinner where I could dine alone. I was told by the desk to try this restaurant. I walked in and was astounded at how beautiful the restaurant and bar were, it was during the Christmas season. I was given a corner table by the hostess which I loved. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and was impressed by the menu (I have worked or consulted for some very high restaurants/retailers in Manhattan). I had a waitress, if I'm correct her name was Amy. She came off as very professional but in some ways sweet. She was a great waitress. She brought me my order perfectly timed from my cocktail to my wine to my appetizer to the entree and to the dessert. I knew I picked the right place when I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly made. I had a great salad but I was most impressed by the cassoulet. I've eaten in Paris, Montreal, NYC etc. and it was probably the best cassoulet I have ever had. It was delicious! Everything else was also very good including my chocolate dessert. Unfortunately my espresso was poorly made. The flavor was there but not the technique. After my meal I felt so comfortable that I decided to stay a bit longer and asked Amy if the restaurant carried Amaro. She didn't know what they were and the bartender Peter immediately came to my table and explained what he had. To my surprise he had Amaro Lucano, a spirit from my wife's small town in Italy. Very hard to find. The bar has an awesome menu of wine, spirits and beers. He gave me the drink on the house and recommended that I try one of his drinks called a Boulevardier. It was excellent. Most importantly Peter was very professional and maybe because of my being in the food business too, he told me about the restaurant and gave me a tour. I totally felt his passion about his job which was great to see! Anyway he was a great bartender. In short, I totally loved this restaurant from its ambiance to its menu to its staff. Wish it were in NYC. Can't wait to go back!"
