Widely varied menu. With a business group of 4. Unique furnishings. Everyone got something different and everyone raved. Our waiter did an excellent job. I noticed they had quite a few well priced happy hour specials going on. On the expensive, but in line with its peers. Would highly recommend.

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. I must say I typically get the same thing every time thus I'm not a connoisseur of the menu. The seared ahi Tuna is delicious and the wasbai whipped potatoes are a great twist! I also get an order of the black rice which almost has a risotto like consistency. The... More

My wife and I visited last week and enjoy a wonderful meal in a great restaurant. I had made reservations two weeks earlier through "Open Table" and were warmly received by the staff and immediately escorted to our table by the large front window. Our server was well informed and offered suggestions, which proved to be of value. Our appetizers,... More

Food is always fresh, friendly and prompt service. There's a steady crowd there, but never have to wait for a table.

Recently went there for dinner and the food was amazing. I wouldn't consider it "American" food, I would say it is more 'Asian with a flare' type food so make sure to look at the menu first. I had the Wok Cashew Chicken & Broccoli entree and Creme Brulee (I know, odd mix but I couldn't resist). Food was amazing,... More

We wandered in on a Thursday night in October before a concert. The ambiance was funky and fun, and the staff were friendly in a sincere way. We weren't really dressed for a nice place, but were treated very well. All of the food was excellent, but the Kobe beef sliders were amazing. There were two of us and three... More

The food was amazing, and while it was a bit pricey, it was worth it! We had the Pan Seared Sea Scallops for an appetizer and they were melt in your mouth delicious. Our entrees were also incredible. If you want great food and great atmosphere, this is the place to go.

Feels a little bit like I'm in NYC when I'm here. the food is great and it's definitely a place where people like to be seen. If you're from a big city and want something that's more trendy then most Central PA restaurants, this is your spot.

This is one of my favorite places to eat while in Harrisburg. The food is amazing and the service is top notch. We got the fish tacos and chicken lettuce wraps. It's a pricey place to eat, but you get a great experience with the price.
