Impressive. The facts that the cooks have to take the customers just randomly walking by or through their stations, you need to be a very confident chef. Respect to all the staff.

I personally cannot work in a kitchen like that it feels chaotic! But its so awesome that customers can get exposed to what happens behind the scenes and the hard work that goest thru the process. 185 per person is such a deal for all you can eat and those food looked amazing!!
@hieuluu27 ай бұрын
We've eaten there 3 times, it's just excellent. Is it a "buffet" definitely no, it's fine dinning and the menu changes every month. It's a 10 course meal, with lots of appetizers in between, you don't really know what you are getting, it's up to the Chefs, but every thing you put in your mouth is soooo delicious. Is it "all you can eat"? No, but you eat as much until they run out. One evening during "intermission" we ate so much oysters that they ran out, we also has sea bass and scallops on the main menu, I complimented the Chef on the sea bass and scallops, he made us 2 more plates, and then packed another order togo for us. At the end of the night, a staff member gave us a tour of the front and back kitchen, while in the back, she asked us whatever leftovers they have, they can packed it for us.

I moved to food blightland (San Tan AZ) and now to Florida (not as bad as AZ, but nowheres as diverse and good as So Cal. I am so jealous that you are having this kind of food. Wow! Truly inspiring.
