We were really looking forward to this dinner, especially since it was a chance to catch up with…read morefriends we only see every few months. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The biggest issue across the board was the food--everything tasted bland. There was a noticeable lack of seasoning, and most dishes ended up tasting the same. I started with a Caesar salad, which was unusual with added tomatoes and other vegetables you don't typically see. While it was fine, it lacked flavor. For the main course, all four of us ordered pasta, and again, the same issue--very little taste. No one offered fresh Parmesan, which is something you'd normally expect with a pasta dish. Halfway through my meal, trying to improve the flavor, I asked for some Parmesan. I was genuinely surprised when the server told me it would cost an extra $1. It wasn't about the dollar--it was the principle. Charging extra for something as basic as Parmesan with pasta felt unreasonable. When we raised the concern, the manager confirmed this policy came directly from the owner. My advice: just include it in the price of the dish. Policies like that leave a bad impression and cost you repeat customers. Between the bland food and that moment, the experience turned from disappointing to frustrating. Sadly, this isn't a place we'll be returning to--and it's one we'll be warning others about.

He rushed us to order, made us uncomfortable when we were deciding what to order, and asked us if we wanted the house made bread. I knew the bread was $5 but he made no mention of it. If I was coming to eat there and was asked if I wanted bread and didn't know there was a charge, I would be upset. It was kind of deceiving, and when the bill came out, shoved the handheld device to pay in my face and I couldn't go over the bill. He told me to put my phone here when paying and that was that. The bill was incorrect and I had to get a manager to fix it (the manger was very friendly and took care of everything). I also have an issue when a server asks us how the food is, right when the food gets put down on the table. We hadn't even had a chance to take a bite. Now, why I gave this place a five star. Like I said before, the ambiance was amazing, if we had a different server, I'm sure it would had been great! The food: it' was top notch. Some of the best food in Maryland. I wouldn't had changed anything with the food. Everything was seasoned perfectly, had the right textures, and tasted so good! Would I go back? Absolutely!

Not bad, just not particularly memorable. The Mediterranean Caesar was the low point for me. The combination of candied lemons, lemon tahini, onions, and kale just did not work. The lemon was too overpowering and made the whole salad feel overly tangy and acidic. I also thought the portioning was a bit off, only three falafel pieces for the salad felt skimpy. The gazpacho was just okay. It was neither good nor bad, but I was hoping for a stronger tomato flavor. Overall, nothing was terrible, but the food and drink did not really come together for me

The atmosphere in the dining area was really nice. Immersed with the Japanese vibes and culture. However, when you use the restroom, this is a different topic. I believe the staff made sure that every area was clean before opening. I do suggest that someone would check at least the status. Imagine your customer being delighted with all the food and seeing gruesome in your cubicle would paint a bad experience and all the delicious food and service were tainted. Overall food and service wise, this is a good experience.

The Salted Caramel Martini was delicious, creamy, caramel-y, and smooth. The wine menu could include more sweet wines because we were recommended the Rosé for something sweet. Now the food, overall, I'd give the food 4 stars because the Bouef Bourguignon was full of flavor, beef was tender, sauce was seasoned quite well. My partner had the Coq au Vin, which was more on the lightly seasoned spectrum compared to the beef dish. If you're more into lightly seasoned dish, I'd go with this one. Otherwise, the bouef bourguignon would be the deep flavor dish.

Waitstaff was professional and helpful. We first ordered drinks, then starters. We ordered entrées after drinks and starters arrived for good pacing. Several of us shared a Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon. It was smooth and fruity. We shared pimento cheese dip with veggies and bread triangles, bread basket, burrata and spiced cauliflower.
