    I worked in the space when it was Hoe Kow Restaurant. Walking into the restaurant gave me an immediate feeling of familarity and calm. A large retirement party was happening so the restaurant was on the louder side, but we still enjoyed celebrating our friend's 65th birthday. The service was top-notch! Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. We started with appetizers of escargo and calamari, and both were delicious. Our group enjoyed either the trout or scallops for dinner; absolutely scrumptious! We ended our meal with servings of profiteroles or creme brulee and each dessert was divine. High marks on all fronts...

    Cute spot, but honestly overpriced. We ordered three appetizers, two entrees, and dessert. The chocolate creameux and my margarita were the highlights of the meal. The service was also lovely. However, I don’t imagine being back anytime soon.

    Amazing food! From the appetizers to the dessert our meal was amazing. Our waitress, Pauline, was genuinely the sweetest person we’ve ever met. Will definitely be coming back here for another date night.
